ODD GOAL VICTORY IN AN INTERNATIONAL
TOURNAMENT MATCH
(By The Pilgrim")
In the first round of the International Hockey Tourna- mont played at King's Park last evening, England defeated Scotland by the odd goal in seven. The game opened rather slowly but soon a good pace was set.
Though England were without their leader, G. H. Fowler, they scored within eight minutes through Mar- shall, off a rebound fron Robb. With the arrival of G. H. Fowler, England's attack was complete and made many raids on the Scots
gonl with long passing tactic. S. A. Fowler broke away on the right wing, and Gemmel increased the lead when he converted a cross from the right winger.
