SOCCER NOTES

Local and General

(By "Kick Off.")

Brooklyn at. last have beaten the clever V.M.'C.A. C : team after a dour struggle m a sea of mud; ' ;.■ Brooklyn- played like- tigers duving most of the game and every man deserves praise for the way he stuck to his task. • Kershaw, m goal, - brought = off some wonderful saves,' one. great shot from Stark he put over the bar m first-class style. ...... Bowyer* and* Browning played the game of their lives arid' held up the clever Y.M. forward line m, great style. Being three goals, down did not daunt Y.M. and before the interval Orr had reduced the lead. ;- Anton did the hat trick and his third goal was a brilliant effort. This l'layer can muster up a fine burst of speed which leaves the average full-back standing. He must ; have, as .many goals to his credit as any player this season. , : Harry Hanson had Scotty Stark well m the bag most of the game. ' i Y.M. were galloping all over Brooklyn at the finish and had the; game not finished when it did, : would have probably pulled through. V.M.C.A. C are. a real' sporting team and it was a treat to see them congratulating' Brooklyn on winning the Victory Cup. ' The V.M.— Scottish Wanderers was a good game considering the weather and the state of the ground. • The Wanderers tried to play a close, tricky game which proved, as it always jwill on a sticky ground, a. useless proposition. Beritley, m goal for Y.M., is a, good i lad, catches a ball m clever style, and hardly ever makes a mistake. ■ '
