The True Blues defeated the
Riordans, goals to 0, at Paterson
yesterday The Riordan boys were
as helpless as so many children, and
some idea of how onesided the con-
tast really was can be gained from
the surprising fact that the Blues
goal keeper only handled the ball
once during the entire contest The
Blues evidently looked upon the
contest in the light of a practise ex-
hibition, and the boys sacrificed
chances TO shoot goals in order to de-
velope more effective combination
work. Gradwell and Lowe scored two
goals each for the local outfit and
Nelson secured the odd tally.

played nice football from start to
finish and deserved to win.
