RICHMOND WELL BEATEN BY LONDON SCOTTISH
POOR FINISHING AT RICHMOND
Richmond were well beaten by the London Scottish at the Ath- letic Ground recently by two goals and three tries (19 points) to one try (3 points), writes a Home correspondent.
The first half of the game was evenly contested, but just before the interval A. F. Dawkins retired with a bad cut over the eye, and though their one score occurred soon after he left the field his ab- sence seemed to have a demoralizing effect on Richmond, whose play gradually deteriorated.

There seemed to be a lack of understanding between the Richmond forwards and backs and the tackling of the latter left much to be desired. Both full backs kicked a good length and mani- pulated a rather lively ball.
AN EVEN HALF
The game started in brilliant weather and immediately Dawkins broke through the centre, ran strongly, and cross-kicked in front of the Scottish posts. A scrum- mage took place on the latter's line, the ball went loose, and the game was carried to the other end of the Beld, Richmond in turn be- ing on the defensive.
Adair opened out for the Scot- tish, and after a couple of ex- changes Renwick beat his man and scored, Geddes failing with the kick. The Scottish continued to heel the ball from the set scrum- mages and Lucas agatu took ad- vantage of weak tackling to break through the centre. It seemed he could have scored himself, but he preferred to pass to his wing, and the latter was instantly tackled. At length the ball came to John- stone, who beat several men and was about to score when called back by the touch judge. At this period Dawkins went off the field, and after a dangerous rush by Adair, Way, who had gone on the wing, levelled the score by cross- ing far out.
