Sokol Repulsed

Sokol kicked of, but were easily repulsed, and off-side, as Taylor crossed the ball into the middle, held up the soldiers, Sokol's defence was fully extended to hold out the eager soldiers as Hvoroff was absent from the line-up, and did not join his side until the Loyals had opened the score. The Loyals' right wing went away and -Choolantzeff, who had dropped back to help the. defence, was penalized for [knocking on after four minutes play, and Stephens netted, from penalty Kick.

'Taylor went away on the right to cross a ball which dropped just past the far post as Bocevitch failed to punch away. Yates then sent' in. for Bocevitch to punch clear. Aprilkoff conceded a corner when attempting to clear a pass from Stephens to Murphy. This cleared and Hvorof sent a high ball upfield which Parkinson spooned, Shiskin geined possession to shoot against the back, and gathered the rebound to send a rising shot to the back of the net after ten minutes play to equalize.

Phe loss of this goal only resulted in the Sokol defence having to fight hard to keep out the soldiers. Taylor crossed to see Murphy block Yates's shot, and then a misunderstanding between Yates and Stephen resulted in a rebound being missed by both players, and the Sokol right wing advanced, and after both Feeney and Parkinson had found touch, Burenin tested Jackson whose clearance was gathered by Galunas who sent to the centre, Burenin swung the ball out to Choolantzeff who sent in a fast drive which Jackson went down to stop, the force of the drive causing the keeper to drop the ball, and, as he regathered, Burenin rushing iny was penalized for unfair tactics to relieve pressure.
