A CHANGE OVER.
RUGBY REPS. IN SOCCER GAME. In the Business Houses match yesterday between Shell Oil and Training College three prominent Rugby reps, were engaged. The veteran Fogarty took a position Tn the vanguard alongside Soccer's most prolific goal-scorer Murray &ay, for the "spirit" men and added dash and vim to attack. In the College side Butler and Abbott performed creditably, though at times showing a half inclination to emulate the "crash and carry" principle. The unorthodox methods of bustle and tackling on the part of the players of both sides, who are accustomed to chasing the "melon," ha« an upsetting tendency on the players who give allegiance to the round ball code. The result, one each (Kay missed one penalty), was a fair indication of the run of the play.
