Fox ton played one man short, one! were, as well, considerably out-weighed in the pack, so that in the set urns They were at no time able to hold then weightier opponents, nor able to make any headway against them in forward" movements In the backs they were better served, Moses on the three-quarter 1 line, Larnbei’g- at naif, and Bryant as iuil-back, ail playing sterling gamesFox ton opened with a strong xorwavd movement, invadi.ng Wanderers territory in dangerous'style. Percy Me-. Leavey saved fcy finding the tine.” From j the throw in, ‘the referee awarded a i nee kick to Fusion, a splendid kick j resulting in a poster. Strong rushes 1 by bo'h sides looked like scoring, Me-' Leavey again saving for Wanderers, I and Bryant far Foxton. A passing ) rush by the Wanderers resulted in : Howe!! getting the ball over, but Fox- , ton forced. 'Wanderers continued to j force and a fine passing bout which! originated with T.
