The Ancient Britons—MacTier, Dr. W. R. Johnston, Elles and Hughes—, were never seen to better advantage than last "night when they played a good game to defeat the Etceteras—Skyrme, Arnold, H. A. White and Mokrejs—by the narrow margin of six goals to five. The latter received one goal handicap.
The Etceteras were also in excellent form and gave the winners the fight of their lives and it was perhaps only a matter of luck that they came out on the wrong end. They were either Jeading or tied all through the game and were unlucky in the last chukker when they missed two golden opportunities to score the winning goal when the score was tied at five all.
Johnston at forward was the goal getter of the team—scoring three of the six, while Hughes who played a good game at back, and hitting a good ball, scored two and Elles scored one.
The Ancient Britons and the Eteeteras were both playing an understanding game and coupled with hard riding and good stickwork made the match really worthwhile for the spectators, who always adore a fast match.
