and only the miserable shooting of the soldiers prevented ARMY INTER McHardy's charge from falling on at least two occasions.

The Police forwards failed to reproduce that understanding and bustle which has featured their play recently, and with Green, on the left-wing, giving little assistance to Brooks in the first half, and being practically a passenger throughout the) second, it was left to T. Pile and Stevens to provide whatever danger there was to the Fusilier goal.
