was played on the racecourse last Saturday, atm
resuited in a win for the home team by a goal and
try to a try; the visitors were also compelled to toile;
down in self-defence. At first the ball was kept we,'
in the visitors' goal, who touched it down twice •

self-defence, but Mier several hard scrimmages Cram
secured a try; no goal resulted, although the kick b:
Wylie was a good one. After half-time the Stour.
bridge played up hard, and, after a good run, J. Plan
obtained a try for them. The Wolverhampton rc.

down in self-defence again. Shortly afterwards Prattl

DUDLEY WOODSETTON V. TETTENITALL COLLEGE
above match was played on Saturday, on the ground:
of the latter, and resulted in a victory for Tettenhail:
by two tries to nil. The game was started at about;
3.30, Dudley kicking off, the ball being returned by a:
long drop by W. W. Chamberlain. Although the,
Woodsetton were much strttmger in the scrimmage'
than Tettenhall, the halt-backs of the latter contrived
to keep the ball well in the middle of the field, unte_
T. F. Riley (captain), getting a good start by
splendid run from the centre of the field, obtained the
first try for the College. The kick at goal, however'
did not prove successful. Shortley before half-time
J. H. Riley, by a very long and plucky run, got be-
hind the Dudley goal line, but was tackled before!
putting the ball down, although, in spite of having:
two opponents, he succeeded in, grounding the ball.l
The try, however, was disputed on the plea that he ran;
into touch in goal, and neither umpires being ahte
decide, the ball was brought out 25 yards by Dudley
Soon after this half-time was called. T. F. Riley, h)"
a good kick, again started the leather, and, alter this;
repeated scrimmages w;re formed in which tit
visitors compelled Tettenhall to touch bown, thu
gaining their only point. Just before time was italic
F. rtitey, by another splendid run, got behind a
second time for Tettenhall, which, however, was no
converted into a goal for the home team.
