DEE NEUENHETMEE.
At 3.15 we arrived at our destination, and owing to our
train boing late, there was no one to meet us, so we took cabs,
and drove to the captain's mansion (which proved to be an
" Eis-handlung"), but that worthy was not at home, so we
drove to the football field ?
After vainly looting for the ground, it suddenly dawned
on us that the road stretching before us, was to be the scene
of the encounter. We won the toss, and elected to play down
the road: and in the first half, our opponents managed to
score 3 goals, much to the delight of the onlookers. The
second moiety was marred by a lamentable catastrophe to our
Captain, Hill. In pluckily stopping a fierce onset by our
opponents, he damaged his left knee so seriously that he had
to be carried from the field. A scene of wild confusion follow-
ed, but our team striking right and left, in true British fashion,
soon brought the mob to order, and a detachment of the
military was told off by our opponents' captain to clear a
way, down which the sufferer was carried to the ambulance,
and conveyed to his quarters. This sad affair for which no-
body was to blame, damped the spirits of the players, and one
more goal being notched against us, "no side" was called;
On our return to the Hotel, we were pursued by the
guardians of the peace, but managed to evade the civil
authorities by passing off another member of the team, as the
wounded man, the rule being, we believe, in Germany, that
no one may hurt himself without paying a fine. After don-
ning habiliments of peace, we were entertained by our
opponents, and left Karlsruhe, amid the cheers of the
victorious team.
The team was as follows :—
E. L. Warren (goal) ; C. Jewell, F. W. Hill (backs)
Mr. C. Hill, II. H. A. Stogdon, C. E. Jones (half-backs) ;
S. Jones, C. Bishop, B. Hodges, R. Piordten, and C. Howard
(forwards).
N. C. F. C. v. Heidelberg Town Team.
This Match was played on the College ground on Saturday,
