days ashore after a sea voyage of three
weeks. America led by 3 points, too,

Brown, fullback, kicked a goal which

MADE GOOD SHOWING
At the university oval, Camperdown,
wednesday, June %, the American uni
versity team played it's second game
against Sydney. Although the final
score was 10 to 9 in favor of Sydney,
there was no doubt as to the better
team America scored three tries as
against two and kept the ball contin-
uously in Sydney territory. Only Il
lack of knowledge of the finer points
of the scoring game prevented the
Americans from piling up big score.
The play of the Americans was Won
derful Improvement over their form in
the game on the Saturday previous
In this game the American backs
played well together in defense, but
were weak in attack.
The rush stopping and tackling of
the Americans was very good and
aided very materially in defense. The
lineup for the second university match
was as follows:
Forwards-H9rton Cheda. Phle-
ger, Dole, Hardy, Bennett, Filling,
SwartZ.
Halfback-Erb.
Five ighths-Allen, Elliot
Three-quarters - Watts, Morris,
Roth.
Fullback-Dwiggins
The sydney men used the same serum
formation as the Americans-that is,
the three-two- -three-but they had
different arrangement in the back
field They used only one five-eighth
or flying half and had three men on
the three quarter line, while the Amer
leans used two five-eighths and three
three quarters. There is nothing to
choose between the two formations, al
though it has been urged that the four
three quarter formation is better on
attack.
