l COMPETITION ADVANCED. i GLEN MASSEY IMPREBS. SUCCESS 0F WANDERERS. Going down to Wanderers s—z in' a hard—fought game. Glen Massey made a good impression in their first match at Seddon Park on Saturday. 01' the indiyidual players German gave the best exhibilion on the ground, his neat trapping and clever footwork stamping him as a centre half of real class. Crockett showed up as the best of the forwards. For Wanderers, Stewart in the forward line revealed good form, while McLean and Crabb, the null hacks. saved time and time; again and appear to be the strongest pair in any one team in the competi- . tion. McLean in particular cleared well with powerful, well—directed kicking. Clarkson, playing centre centre half in place of Caldwell. was responsible for good work. showing a ‘ good turn of speed and feeding his 1 forwards well. The teams were as follows 2 ‘ Wanderers—'Burdiss, McLean. A. Crabb, Jackson. Ciarkson, Mangnall. D. Crahb. C. Crabb, Stewart, Donald-. son. Fisher. ‘ Glen Massey—Montford, Frew, Gm Brown, R. Crockett, Gorman, F. Brown, J. Crockett, J. Connew, Davies. J. Connew, W. Ramsay. Glen Massey Attack. Glen Massey attacked at the outset, but powerful kicks by McLean put \Vanderers on the offensive. When Glen Massey returned play to the Wanderers‘ circle .I. Connew made a determined effort to score, but Burdlss cleared well. Glen Massey kept at it, -but Burdiss was safe and kept Wan- 1 derers out of trouble. Another attempt by Glen Massey failed when from an awkward position Davis's shot went astray. Poor defence by 'G. Brown let Stewart away. but a Wanderers‘ sally failed when Fisher lost the advantage. Wanderers had a spell of attacking, but could not put their Leiforts to any good purpose, Glen ‘Massey’s back line clearing well. A good effort by Montford. the Glen Massey‘s goalie. extricated his team from a serious position when Wanderers looked dangerous. The First Soot-o. A passing rush by Glen Massey enecl in J. Connew scoring. This was Glen Massey’s first goal this season. Glen Massey 1, Wanderers 0. At this stage the Glen Massey team were playing good football and the Hamilton team‘s efforts were mostly confined to defence. Wanderers. however. now took a turn on the attack, but the defence oi.’ Glen Massey was equal to the ocasion. Stewart then lost a good opportunity through shooting high. \\’anderers were at it again when Donaldson centred well. but Montfort cleared in good style. A further effort by the Wanderers’ forwards was held up thy the goalie, who was defending in fine style. Glen Massey relieved and Davis was in a handy position in the goal-mouth, but he was penalised for hands, Wanderers clearing to enter Glen Massey’s territory, where a hot attack ensued, \Vanderers eventually losing the ad—vantage when Stewart shot high. When Crabb passed to Fisher the latter had a splendid chance. with an open goal, but his shot went wide. iiait time found Glen Massey attacking. with the score: Glen Massey i, Wanderers 0. Wanderers Score. ‘ Immediately after the resumption WVanderers attacked, and after Clarkson had passed to G, Crabh the inside right beat the full back and shot hard to give the goalie no chance. Glen .\lasscy 1, Wanderers 1. Wanderers maintained the pressure. but the Glen Massey hacks relieved well. and took play to the opposition circle. When Wanderers returned to the attack Donaldson passed to Stew~ urt. who beat the goalie. to score. making the tallies: Wanderers 2, Glen Massey 1. A good effort on the part of Glen Massey forwards was nullified when J. Connew shot high. An identical situation saw the same player go wide with his second attempt. The Wan—llel‘el‘S' full backs, particularly McLean, were conspicuous for sound defence when Glen Massey came again. \Vandcrers scored again. Fisher ccntring for Crahb to put the leather in for his team's third goal. \V‘anderers 3, Glen Massey 1. At this juncture Wanderers were playing better football and had Glen .\lassey defending hard, but relief came when Stewart was penalised for offside. Glen Massey Again. A forward sally by the Glen Massey forwards ended in a scramble in the goal—mouth, from which Davis put the Jiull homo. \\'nndorers 3, Glen Alas— I soy ‘3 I Another determined eil'ort by Glen .\[ussoy gin'u \\'undri'crs a few anxious lmoun-nis, but Ihu‘is went with) with his sealing shot. .
