Blackheat Win By A Point

MAGNIFICENT STRUGGLE WITH SCOTTISH

(Special Air Mail Service)

London, Oct 26.

What a magnificent game this was at the Rectory field! There may be better this year, but there will not be many. Blackheath won by a goal and three tries to two goals and a try.

They won by a point and crossed their opponents' line four times. while their own was crossed only thrice, but even their staunchest supporters must admit that they were very lucky to be awarded their third try. Still, in a match.
