The Y.M.C.A., who were playing without E. O. Murphy and F. Selk, were full value for their victory. D. McLellan opened the scoring late in the first half when he beat two players for possession and 'acooped' the ball into the net. After the interval McLellan again scored, this time as the result of a full-blooded drive from Price's corner hit. He was certainly a success at contre forward.

in the second half. Very atout in defence the Recreio backs had one big failing-that of attempting too much first-time hitling. Time and again one of the opposing forwards would break through as the result lof this continual mis-hitting. The bucks, however, covered one another very successfully and though the maurading forward would pierce the first line of defence he would unconsciously play into the hands of the second line. A. R. R. Botelho was prominent throughout the game. He hold up repeated attacks by well- timed hitting.
