Humberside got the first goallbut Commerce tightened up and scored five points. Then we lost to Harbord at High Park by Z-O. We made many pressing attacks on Harbord's goal but were unable to score. The forward line, Scorrer, Nichols, Archbold, Roseborough, and Hunter combined well and received excellent support from the half-backs Pake, Sanders, and Acheson. Tufts and McLean fed the forwards well, while Ellison, in goal, was hard to get past. JU NIOR SOCCER J. Acheson, V. McEwen, R. Pake, L. Rowntree, C. McLean, N. Armstrong, Mr. Norris, J. Tuft, F.
