GYMNASTIC v. ’VARSITY J 3, , The Oval No. 3 ground was very heavy, and a fast game was out of the question, but the meeting of the above teams made interesting hockey, as it was a drawn game when they last met. The game opened with very even play, and until well on in the spell no score was registered. Patterson, Gymnastic’s full-back, stopped a dangerous Blue rush, and with a long drive placed to Gardiner, who centred to Mitchell. A tussle in the circle ensued, and Hewitt opened the score with a hot shot, which gave the goalkeeper no chance. From the ensuing bully the Reds again attacked, and Hewitt was again successful in registering. Half-time sounded with play in midfield. Gymnastic 2, ’Varsity 0.

On resuming play ’Varsity attacked strongly, and Bow ell was unfortunate in not scoring, but Templeton and Fleet wore playing a, sound game, and were hard to pass. In quick succession Bye, for Gymnastic, semed 2 goals, and a fine solo run by Taylor on the left-wing resulted in the ball glancing off the upright into the net.
