Gow made a nice run but = Ryan secured and kicked clear. The Green forwards made a dash into College's territory, but a free kick allowed college to clear, and Gow broke away once more. Play moved up and down the field at a fast pace for some time, and on one occasion College had a free kick just outside the twenty-five, Stevenson's effort falling short. T. Wallace and i Wright put in a good run into 1 M'Glashan's ground, and S. Wallace i failed to hold the greasy ball, los- ; ing a chance to score.

College nil. Christian Brothers took up the attack again, but College was now in better form, and a strong movement was interrupted in the nick of time.
