Although the printers were forced three times the school were unable to score in the first spell. In the second spell the. game was very evenly contested; The school were forced three times within ten minutes, and the printers narrowly escaped scoring twice, but after awhile the school having three more players than tho Press began to tell its tale, and towards the end of the spell Harris secured the first try for the school, but the kick at goal was a failure. The second try was secured by P. Murray about a minute before time was called. It was right behind the posts, but the kick was again a failure. The printers dribbled much better than the school boys, but the school boys collared much better than the printers, and several of the school sprinters were not even tackled before they came to the fullback.
