SHIELD TIE-ILMS "ARGONAUT V.
CO., SHERWOOD FORESTERS.
This match was played at Happy Valley on the 3rd inst. before a big turn-out of spectators, mostly Servicers. The Foresters | opened the game and the Argonauts the scoring, getting their firet goal rather easily five minutes from the start. The sailors' second goal was A very soft ons, the ball, a slow one, dropping into the corner of the net from a scrimmage in the Foresters territory just when nobody expected it. The soldiers, des pite the score against them, were playing a good game, and, when one came to analyse play, it was difficult to understand how they were so far behind. Luck would be the easiest way of explaining the mystery, but even that fails as a satisfactory solution, for there was more of ready resource than luck in the way the outside right took up a straying shot at the Forestors' goal and notched the third point for the sailors. The fourth goal-it bad now apparently become a mere matter of recording | goals-was beautifully kick »d by the inside man on the right from a pass across the wing. The Foresters still continued to peg manfully away, but with it all they profited nothing, and were even auable to prevent their goal from being again jeopardised, oftener than once at that, too. Each time their custodian proved him- self equal to the emergeney, but there came a moment when no amount of skill on his part could avert disaster. This was when the whole line of sailor forwards took the leather up to convenient shooting distance and gained their fifth goal, which was the stage the game had reached when the interval arrived.
The Foresters invaded when the match was restarted, but could not get the better of the | Argonauts' defences, and back the leather went. Some give-and-take play in the open ensued, and then the sailors broke away on another run for goal. The backs were outwitted and the custodian, adopting the only alternative left him, ran out to save. He missed, and for the sixth time the ball, cleverly screwed in by the inside right man, found the net. The soldiers were now playing against a hopeless majority, which was further increased by a seventh goal scored close in from a free kick in favour of the Argonaute and a few moments later by an eighth sent between the sticks from a scrimmage; a ninth was just missed by the ball grazing the i cross-bar. The Foresters, who showed up well, as has been indicated, in the first half, were nowhere in the se oad, and the game, for which Mr
· Graham acʻed as refires, ended in a decisive victory for the Argonauts by 8 goals to 0.

Happy Valley between these two teams, the members of which were cheered as they took the field. The sides were:

the Ocean end looked dangerous, but the ball was rushed out to midfield, where a series of throws-in on the far side preceded an attack on the Glory's position, which Morgan turned by fisting out the leather. Clark, ontside left for the Ocean, gava an oxhibition of profty play up the|wing, but struck the side of the net when he centred. At times the forward division of the Ocean placed very badly, which was surprising considering the minority they stood in." They improved when they saw the ground it lost them. were enabled to pay Morgan another visit, forcing that custodian to handle. The call was returned by the Glory lads, who placəd their opponents' goal in imminent danger by a shot which grazed the cross-bar. Soon after- wards ca ne the equaliser for the Ocean, and what wild excitement it causid! The ball came whizzing in from the left wing, and when it was seen that Morgan bad failed to stop it a great cheer was raised, and caps were thrown in the air by enthusiasts who danced in their glee. The Ocean soured five minutes from the
anci
interval the arrival of which found the result a draw, viz.-one goal each.
The Oce in broke through when the game restarted, and got a corner on their right which, however, they were unable to improve. The Glory responded but sent past and from the goal-kick the ball was again taken up the field by the Ocean. This effort met with a fate similar to that of the Glory's, but the leather, after striking a spectator, rebounded into play and was netted, Many thought it a bona fide goal, but the reforce very properly disabused their minds of that belief. Morgan stopped in his best style a high shot which came straight towards tim over the beads of the players, and won de- served applause. A corner to the Ocean-they were doing all the pressing now-remained uncouverted, bat Morgan had to Savo several times before the siege finally lifted. Then the Glory came away, but Harper sent them to the rightabɔut, and before Morgan know where he was the ball was into the net from a pass by Whitworth over Jackson's foot. The Ocean got a penalty kick el se in, but Morgan surmounted tremen tous odds and cleared magnificently. On their left wing the Ocean had another try for an opening, but were denied the opportunity of finding it. They tried again from a corner

Think- ng from a beautiful pass by Lane, ating that their favourites were playing a losing game, the Glory supporters had hitherts preserved an unusual silence, but they now ex- ercised their vocal powers to the fall, and gave an extra shout when Lane just topped the Ocean's goal with a skimming shot. The Ocean partisans were not one whit behind in this noisy demonstration of feeling, and every foot of ground the ball covered one way or the other gave rise to a perfect pan- demonium. The game was stopped owing to an injury to one of the Ocean forwards, who Fire thereafter played wearing only one boot! miantes from time the Ocean found the net a third time, but it was palpably off-side, and so the referee pronounced it to be. The game, which preserved its interest to the last, ended in a draw-two goals each..

The Ocean kicked off facing the pavilion end and made the first invasion. The Glory gave away a free kick in centre, and very shortly after their back line was called upon to defend. Two byes fell to the Occan, and then Milford came away splendidly. Hall stopped the rush for a moment, but it was renewed with determina- tion, and eventually Milford crashed the ball into the net. This happened six minates from the start: Lewis ran out to save, and hurt bimself in some way; just how was not ap- parent from the stand. At any rate he had to retire, and one of the forwards took his place. The Ocean forwards were attacking resolutely and all Morgan's skill was required to keep them from scoring.
