SOCCER NOTES

Juniors Record Seventh Victory

(By 'Neslo.')

On Saturday last, at the expense of the University High School Old Boys, the local Junior Soccer Club recorded their seventh victory for the season. Weather permitting, the local juniors are confident of winning their match against University next week, the winners to take the title of 'State Junior Champions.' South Melbourne juveniles' fixture against Heidelberg was postponed on Saturday owing to the sodden state of the ground at Heidelberg. To-day the local juveniles will meet Heidelberg in the final of the 'Miller Cup.' Middle Park Schoolboys were easily defeated by their much heavier opponents on Saturday. The final score was 7 goals to 1. Kaye was the scorer for Middle Park. 

On Saturday night the visiting Wonthaggi Schoolboys, together with the Middle Park boys, were entertained at the Middle Park Theatre. The manager of the theatre congratulated the Wonthaggi Boys on their victory, and promised to donate a cup for the Wonthaggi and the local boys to compete for every year. 

The Victorian Junior Association propose to send a team to New South Wales or South Australia either in September of this year or early next season. The local Junior Club will propose, at the next Association meeting, that two teams go interState at the same time next year, one team to go to New South Wales and the other to South Australia.

South Melbourne Seniors, 2 goals, drew with Coburg, 2 goals. Goal kickers:— South Melbourne: Kerr and Fyfe; Coburg: Robertson and Tennant.

SOCCER MAKES PROGRESS

The altered conditions that will operate in 1937 was considered to be a progressive step, because, each senior club would then be obliged to run first, reserve and junior teams, as well as foster one or more schoolboy teams. The Old Boys Association it was stated had done useful work during the two years of their existence, in bringing together old players and others interested in the welfare of the game, and lending a helping hand where it was most needed to further the interests of the code.
