DEE NEUENHBIMEE.
9
behind the scrum, especially by their right half, who passed
rather wildly at times, and often missed a chance of feeding
the three-quarters, the Heidelberg team might have scored a
brilliant victory. As it was the game ended in a well-fought
draw, both sides doing their best, but the Heidelbergers
having throughout the game a good pull as to territory.
They were at one time even favoured by a real piece of mis-
fortune. A free kick was given in their favour some thirty-
five yards from their opponents' goal. The Heidelberg back
dropped a brilliant goal, such as has seldom, if ever, been
equalled in any match, but the goal was disallowed owing to
one of the men being off-side. Although the Frankfurt side
was at times very hard pressed, they got out of the difficulty
each time with praiseworthy skill, and by the call of time
neither side had succeeded in doing more than put their
opponents on their best metal. It is much to be hoped that
similar well contested games will often be seen at times.
Team:—V. Dickie (N) (back), H. Garret, Esq. (H),
L. M. Priday (N), G. Young (N), E. Henson (H) (three-
quarters), H. S. Barker (H), A. S. Harris (N) (halves), W.
Hill, Esq. (N) (Capt), N. G. Powell, Esq. (H), E. Moore (H),
W. A. Knyvett (N), P. Light (H), J. Thunder (H), E.
Umbers (N).
Eeferee—Mr. Catty.
N.C.F.C. v. Frankfurt.
This match, the result of a good deal of correspondence,
took place at Frankfurt, on Saturday, Dec. 1st. The day was
unfortunately wet, and the ground rather heavy in
consequence. Dickie, with his usual brilliancy, missed the
train, and consequently Neuenheim had to play with only 14
men. Neuenheim won the toss and elected to play uphill the
first half.
