In spite of the slippery, wet ground the
game was splendid one, and 1t brought
out the merits OF the various players quite
frequently.
The Wanderers had Fyfs, Erskine. Nor
ris0D, Morse, Bourng, Harrison aud Long
bottom. and 1t was due to their fine playing
that they won the game with a score OF
Q toll.
The visitors from across the bay also had
some fine material in their ranks, and Tur-
ner, Weir, Forgie, Proctor and Moir did
splendid work.
The Wanderers got the ball first and
started it from the south goal by Harrison
sending it with long kick to the center.
Darling made an effort TO score, but the
ball escaped him and was sent across the
goal line.
Moir made fine run to the right wing,
but the Wanderers back division was ON
the alert and spoiled his effort to make
point.
Morrison kicked from a foul, drove the
ball through the center, where Erskne
picked it up and worked 1t toward the Oak
land goal. when Fyfe, endeavorlng to come
to his assis tance, sent the sphere over the
touch line with kick.
Then came some pretty center plays, the
Wanderers being on the aggressive all the
time and pressing the Oaklanders hard, but
the latter's back defense was superb.
Suddenly Harrison managed TO run the
ball up 10 Erskine, who saw his opp0r-

the Wanderers.
The visitors changed their tactics after
this, and turning the tables they started In

kept extremely busy defending their own
goal, and Robertson had a lively time OF it.

Fyfe and Morse played like demons and
for quite while did all the work for their
