Played on the School ground, Dec . 13th . Clarke brought a strong team.. including N . L . Hood )S . Thomas's Hospital), E . Pitts (captain of S . Catherine's College, Cambridge) . We lost the toss, and Dlr . Lord kicked off against the wind ; the School rushed to the attack, and scrimmaging took place near their opponents' goal line . The attack, however, was staved oft by a good run and kick on the part of Pitts . The ball was carried to the School 25, and Hood and Eastwood successively made poor attempts to drop a goal . '['he visitors' three-quarters made some attempts at passing, but the School tackling was very safe . An erratic pass by \Vhineup gave a chance to Metcalfe, who dribbled to the visitors' line, and Mr . Head dropping on the ball completed the try . Mr . Lord failed at goal . Desultory play followed, and half-time was called with score, S . Peter ' s, i try ; Clarke ' s team, nil . Alter the restart, S . Peter's, aided by the wind, again attacked, and good passing between Shepherd, Metcalfe, and Mr . Lord ended in the latter scoring a try, which he faihad to convert . The scratch team gained but little advantage from the kick-out, and good passing enabled Mr . Lord to score a second try, which Metcalfe converted into a goal . The visitors then gained a slight advantage through good passing by Pitts, Collins, and Hood . Ford, however, who was playing in tip-top form, responded with a good run and screw-kick, and the School again pressed . This enabled Nevile, after the ball had been passed through the hands of most of the backs, to score a try far out .
