Dickson was in splendid form at full-back. He kicked five goals, four from most difficult angles, while his touch finding was excellent. He did not have a lot to do in defence but he did everything that came his way with ease.
The Japanese half-backs were in-çlined to become offside and prone to be caught flat-footed by {he quickly advancing Club backs. Their passing, too, left a lot to be desired, hardly a man in possession attempting to draw an opponent before passing with the ball. Their mistakes were taken full advantage of by a rejuvenated Club team ani this, coupled with a disastrous five minutes late in the second half when fifteen points were scored, led to a big defeat.
