Examination Battery/) Punctually at 15.30 hours the two teams took up their positions on Picadilly. ; The ground was rather soft owing to the previous night’s rain, but it did not affect the play. The weather was of Wellington’s usual standard: dull and grey , with plenty of wind from the north, and shortly, after the start of the game a light drizzle came on, but even this did - not damp the ardour of the players. The play started, and Dorset attacked, opening the scoring with a neat. goal by Schollam. College replied to Dorset’s attack and after some hard hitting by both sides, Ting scored a well-deserved goal for
