Miss Pike took the ball along the wing and some exciting play followed. Misses M. McKenzie, E. Dagg and D. Jackson carried the ball down the field, and Glengarry were placed on the defence, but good play by Misses Gordon, McGregor, Hood and McKenzie prevented a score. Fast open play followed in which the forwards of both teams did splendid work. Misses McGregor and Scott were next prominent in carrying play into the High School territory, but Misses 0. Dagg, D. Jackson, C. Easthope and G. Waddington removed play to the centre.

Good hitting by the Glengarry backs removed play to the centre. Misses C. Elliott, M. McKenzie, E. Elliott and A. Jackson headed another attack on the Glengarry goal, but the defence was too good, and Misses Logan, McGregor and Devenport eventually carried play to the centre.
