During the last period, Recreio were penned in their own half, but their defence managed to hold out. 1. Marques, at right back, played splendidly, getting good assistanes from P. Yvanovich and W. A.

This particularly applies to a for- ward within the circle, for often, if he misses it he is no worse off than he would have been had he stopped it before shooting-because it is most doubtful if he would have suffelent time to complete the operation.
