Our football Eleven suffered somewhat this term from the departure of H.N. Robson (last term’s captain) but not so much as had been expected; for in R.J. Squire one of the right-wing forwards it found one of the best backs in England. As there was little if anything to choose between O. Scoones (Q.S) and J. Morison (T.B) the two candidates for the vacant place twelve pinks were given – Synopsis of matches-
