The Club opened up in grand style, but were very disappointing towards the end of the game. Whereas they exploited the open game successfully in the earlier minutes and were able to hold their own against their opponents earlier on, they were woefully out of the picture towards the end of the match, and the ease in which several of the Marine runners went through their defence was most disconcerting to Club supporters.
It would be difficult to single out any players for their good play yesterday, Houghton showed that his skill is coming back to him, and he executed several good runs in the first half, but an absence of several years requires more than a couple of matches to brush off the edges of one's play. The teams were:
U.S. MARINES 2nd: Alexander, Rakel, Zaguary, Plyler, Blondin, Drisee osse, Regan, Duraco. Cooper, Marsh. Dewiti, Woosley, Ceszek CLUB 2nd: W. P. Hetherington, A. D. Sayle, A. Thomas, C. H. Guignard. B. MeMichael, J. M. Houghton, B. E Brown, W. J. Richmond. A. Mabb, P. Pender Cudlip, P. E, Given Wilson, M.
