away to the three-quarter line, where we were rather
better. When at length the ball was passed to Cavendish
he very nearly scored; Maxwell punted off the Town
line, Cavendish ran again and passed to Robbins, who
in turn was collared by Waller, but not before he had
passed back to Cavendish. The latter ran some way
and was forced to pass to Stoker, who again handed
off and ran altogether very smartly and scored once
more. Stoker also converted the try. The Town very
soon were forced to touch down in self-defence and de
Bernales nearly scored but Mr. Blundell collared him.
The referee now sounded his whistle for half-time.
The second half of the game was very dull com-
pared to the first, there being not one single run made
worthy of notice. A drizzle had set in, so that ground
and ball became very heavy. Our forwards found it
useless to heel, as the halves were too well matched
for anything to come even of the cleanest heel out,
so the)- attempted to rush the ball straight through the
scrimmage instead. The consequence was naturall}' one
long protracted series of scrums. A good man)' free
kicks were awarded the Town for off-side, but they were
never near enough to our line to turn them to any
account, except once, when Paterson kicked and obliged
Hill II to touch down in self defence. Nothing worthy
of notice happened until „no-side" was called, leaving
Neuenheim victors by a goal and a try to nothing.
Stoker I may be complimented on his very fine forward
play; Cavendish, Leland and Weber also played up well.
The team was composed as under.
Hill II (back); Cavendish, de Bernales, Leland, Rob-
bins (three-quarter backs), Hathorn, Maule (half-backs),
Stoker I, Weber, Page, Hill I, Mackie, Hankey, Stoker II,
Jewell (forwards).
