Their opponents, the Thomaston Kaceys were completely outclassed 32-6 in the game played at the Oakville Community house. So effective was the defensive work of the Water vile team that the losers scored, but two field goals. Allard. Water ville's left forward, scoring five field goals and Manager Denehey, left guard, registering four field goals and foul, led the winners in points scored.
