Huddersfield Attack

Huddersfield pressed from the very start, their outside wings playing beautifully. It was not until the 19th minute, however, thet they got their first goal, from a centre by Wienand, which Beasley half-volleyed straight into the net, The half time score remained 1-0.

Returning to the attack after the interval, Wienand did fine work, scoring once after the ball hit the posts from a pass by McFadyen, and a few minutes later giving McFadyen back a beautiful centre which was netted with a rising oblique drive.

After -this Huddersfield could afford to take it easy. They did no more scoring and let Burbanks through, somewhat surprisingly, to score Sunderland's only goal from a pass by Carter.—Reuter.

The game was fast and brisk and the number of goals scored made the tussle all the more interesting. The Germans had a shaky start and were forced back in their own areas most of the time. In the 10th minute the United Club got first blood when Karanjia wound up a left flank movement with a fast shot which put the ball past the Teuton goalie. The trailers came back with vigour but the United defenders held well and the lead was kept.

Midway through this half, the story changed as the Germans tied the score with a sudden attack. Soenkssen made a brilliant solo dash the length of the field and crossed over for Lemmser to flick in a trick shot which Jones failed to stop with his hand. The ball glanced off his fingers and flew into the net.
