Exhibition Game, Al.

The British-Ameriean Football Cluh Of
Philadelphia, one of the Quaker Clty's
crack soccer e~levens, was numbered among
the victims of the West Hudsons in the
soccer game at Harrison Oval yesterday
afternoon by a score of 4 goals to l. A
crowd Of LOCO spectators witnessed the
game, which was all in favor of the Hud-
sons. The work Of the visitors was a
disappointment. They showed little COM
bination work and the shooting of their
forwards was decidedly poor.
Hudson kicked off against the wind. the
Quakers having slightly the best Of the
early stages. The Hudsons soon got GO

but Lawson "handed' the ball. The
visitors resorted to the long kicking game,
which resulted In their forward line never
getting dangerously near, although on two
occasions ]. Green, close in, missed easy
chances to score by cratic shooting. THE
Hudsons assailed the visitors goal and
German after shooting straight into the
goalkeeper's hands at last succeeded In
scoring from the rebound From the kick.
off the BIAS attacked Hudson's goal, j.
Green having a good try. which Hanlon
stopped. The Hudsons' forwards got away
again and German after a good sprint
looked like scoring, but the goalkeeper
rushed out and stopped him. Once more
the home team got away and from a nice
centre by w. Kettles, Bennox tried with
a swift shot, which West again cleverly
stopped. The remainder of the first half
was marked by nothing but long kicking
by the halfbacks on both sides, there be-
ing no further scoring. At half time the
score stood, West Hudsons, / goal; British

On resuming in the second half the Wis
itors were first to attack and gained a cor
ner kick, but failed to get through. An
other attempt to score by the BIAS for
wards followed, but ]. Green shot too high.
The visitors were now forced on the de-
fensive and Carter failed to take advan-
tage Of an easy chance. Another run by
the Hudsons ended in w. Kettles sending in
Il terrific shot which apparently went past
the post. The Hudsons claimed the ball
had gone through, but Referee Wilkie re-
fused to allow the claim and gave a goal
kick. Play now warmed up considerably,
the QuakerS trying hard to get through
the home defense, but Hanlon managed to
stop all shots. Findlay accepted a nice
pass from the right wing, but his shot was
wide. AT the other end w. Kettles sent IN
a lightning shot which struck one IF the
uprights and went behind. Another spell
of open play followed. Sedan sent In q
long shot from midfield. German jumped
and headed the ball through the goal out
of the reach of the BIAS goalkeeper.
The Hudsons were now all over the Wis
itors. Sedan broke through and scored
another goal. From the kickoff the Phila-
%delphians carried the ball to the Hudsons'
goal and Newton shot past Hanlon Tor
their first and only point. Another rush

For the winners Hanlon in goal, Lawson
at halfback, w. Kettles and German or
the forward line excelled. Tommy Greer
played a good game at fullbacK for thi
losers. Mccormack, at centre hlifbnck. q
lanky youth, was also very clever. The
game was marred by the encr0a .hment ol
spectators on the field, particularly behind
both goals. The absence OF nets WINS also
a handicap. By the use of nets the wranglc
resulting from w Kettles shot IN the sec
ond half would have been avoided.
