After a little signal practice, the first eleven lined up against the scrub for a ten minute half. Owing to the strong work of several members of the second eleven, the first eleven was able to score but once, Ellis who took Warren's place making the touchdown.

Therefore it is to be hoped that the class teams will be well supported, and that the training which so many men have already taken advantage of, may work good results in raising the standard of play...
