...touchdown, from which Porter missed a goal. After sharp playing Porter made a touchdown, and again missed a goal. Bancroft in a few minutes made the third touchdown from which Porter again failed to score. Thomas was the next lucky man; he made a free catch from which Woodman kicked a very difficult goal.

That they allowed Exeter to score...
