...clean goal along the ground midway between the posts. After some minutes hesitation this goal was not allowed by the umpire, who stated that he had not been able to follow the course of the ball.

He says: "This work of Mr. Bridgman's is not only immature, but it is also in many ways seriously faulty and contrary to the principles which are taught in the fine arts department...
