FOOTBALL
DESCRIPTION Or THE MATCIL
About 700 people congregated on the
park last Friday evening to witness the
match betweeu the Brussels and Wingham
foot bailers. Referee "Bob" Farrell, of
Wroxeter, started the game about half past
six and it was scarcely twenty-five minutes
to seven, when the spectators plainly saw
that the visitors were "not in it," The
ball was kept incessantly in the vicinity of
the Brussel's goal. Goal kicks were suc-
ceeded by corner kioke and corner kicks by
goal kicke, but unfortunately no goeas were
scored. When play began again after half
time, the same programme was presented
to the public, with almost the same result.
However about one minute before the time
was up, a right wing corner was kicked,
Charles Stuart headed it straight for the
goal and McKinnon did the needful in keep-
ing the goal tender away from theball.
Play was now stopped, leaving the score 1
to 0 in favor of Wingham.
A PEW SHOTS.
Brussels play gentlemanly oall.
Armstrong is a corker in goal, be should
be named Arrolong.
Ed. Coultes kicked the trademark off the
ball.
"Tony Sample" missed one kick, guess
"he's all right."
"Bill" Stewart played Gerry to a stand
still.
Farrell acted on the square.
Problem: Which is better, a corner kick
or a throw in by McKinnon.
The gate receipts were ee2.25.
Charles Stuart never missed a ball.
Bailey makes an ideal centre forward.
