Hampton *took the first game at Solina, on1 *Wednesday evening, 2-0 and re- *peated Saturday with a 2-1 win. a Their decisive margin, therefore,1 : was 4-1. a But consistently to measure the *menit of play it should be stated Mthat Solina scored two goals a against its own goalie, hence the Mearned win actually was 2-1. *Fullback Dewell, quite inadver- * tently, scored one in each game M*which counted for his opponients. *They were discouraging breaks *in two splendidly contested, dlean Sgamnes. * Experienced, old-time football *fans on the sidelines found play in both gamnes pretty aven but Hampton had the edge in two par- Mticulars. They manned their à checks closely and on attack, their *forwards, cîosely assembled, drill- Med in fast on goal. Solina was *woefully weak in manning off op- t : ponents and their forwards, good *individually, did not press in with short-passing attacks. V At Hampton the field was wet, the bail heavy, but it was even -a better game than the first in spite of slipping and fumbling. A feature of the gamie was that all three goals -were converted from right-field corner kicks on Sthe samne goal. Solina scored first when John Baker, 20 minutes af- ter the kickoff, headed one in cleanly. Solina pressed hard ta even the count 2-all, but failed. In the second haîf, after 15 min- ?utes, Broome of Hampton, head- ed one in from the samne corner. Ten minutes later Hampton's well placed corner kick bounced off the goal standard, hit Dewell, car- omed into the goal. Solina Full- back, Jack Reynolds' in an at- tempt to retrieve, went up with his forwards. Hampton ona EP break-away nearly scored when jthe baîl hit the cross-bar. Tw< minutes later the whistle ended the play and the season. Despite ramn and wet groundsa crowd estimated at 600 lined the field. It was evidence that foot- ball had returned ta popularity in the district following the war years and that next year will fini even greater interest in a real gamne that has become a tradition in Darlington during the past 7C years or more. Referee Dick Pat. terson, Bowmanville, who han. dled the playoffs, deserves spe- cial mention for his fine work ir enforcing clean play. Hundreds of cars, trucks, and few farrn tractors lined th( streets and Provincial Officer W R. Pollard, Bowmanville, directec traffic for an hour in getting ve bidles untangled.
