In the football match played on Siturday between Cambridge E.ist and We»t, the E.wt won by eleven points to two. Mr Pilling was unable to play for thf West, as he had a bad hand, and Mr H. Steele to-.k his place. Mr Hunt captained the West, Mr Porter the East, and Mr Pilling umpired. The game was played in two spells of forty minutes. In the hr-.t the Ea,->t had a long way the best of the game. Souter secured a try early, which vVood converted into a goal. Soon after Wood, by a brilliant run, got another try, but kicked wide of the posts. P.dtiidge ne\t gained a try and Wood Licked, but it was only a poster. The score stood '.)— low In the second spell the We-.t played h.ud ti> retrieve their laurels, and kept the X i-t jammed in their twenty-five most of the time For the We-.t McKinnon secured a try, and Morri«sey kicked, but failed to obtain a goal. Hannon, for the East, put a try, and Souter took the kick without, adding to the score. Hjorth, playing foi the Weht, had his eye badly hurt by H.mnon fending him. Hannon fell over Porter and twisted his leg badly and had to retne. Good play in favour of the West followed, but with no further results. The erame throughout wa* good but loose, and was a capital practice.
