Play hung about midfield for some time until Smith hit to Boswell, who reached the circle, to be checked by Kobinson. The University forwards then worked up the left, aud a number of short passes took play to the circle, Don taking a shot that lJelhunty stopped on the pads. Close work in the circle followed, aud after a long bombardment Parker cleared. The Somerville vanguard then invaded the blues' circle, but the effort was short-lived. Wellborne broke through, transferred to C. Watts, and Robinson stopped progress on the quarter line. Led by Lawry, the students, with n nice passing ■ run, again pressed hard, SoniervfUe conceding a corner. The whites broke through, soon reaching the blups' quadrant, and from a free hit C. Watts just missed the net. Floyd again set the blues in motion, Parker saving a critical situation. Glanville then raised the whites' hopes and, passing to Boswell, the inner right shot to strike the post. The students responded with another raid and the Somerville defence held against a severe testing.
