“Shrove Tuesday”
This year the Cook repeated his now annual offence. We however did not book him, but simply turned away in contempt and there was no “grease”. Scott was much exasperated and was determined to let the Cook get a Substitute next year.

The Etonians sent their usual challenge for the 15th Decr which was the night of the Last Play. We had therefore to postpone the Match until the 20th, when the Etonians were only able to bring down 8 of their Eleven, with three other present Etonians. We had decidedly the best of it as we kept the ball in their goals nearly the whole time. However the fates were against us and the Etonians managed to fluke two goals.

The Etonians asked us if we would lend our ground to them to play versus Civil Service. The matter was laid before Scott who went to the Dean and Chapter. They flatly refused to let any strangers play there. So I think all future applications will have to be refused.
