Miiuurcv/a. —Pavkes, AVooclb, Kohs, Brown, Cor'oett, W. Clark, A. Donaldson, Williamson. R. Clark, Davie?, 11. Donaldson. Finesse was apparent, in Mannrewa s methods right from tlio 6tart. Corbett organising promising moves, which were cailied on in scientific style by tho forwards, lfislop raised- the . siege, b.v sending his front rank away,. W. Wright reaching the goal-line only to misjudge his dent ring-kick. Cohesive work between N. Cunimmgs and Wylio let McLeay in, but timely mtenercnco by Ross saved a. certain goal. Alan lire wa commanded'respect, in tho ensuing exchanges, Williamson breaking through on three 6ccasions, as n. result of subtle frontal play, and testing Gerrard with powerful ground shots. H.
