The School, however, soon resumed the attack, and a second goal was scored by Broadhurst who, after a general scramble in the Bootham circle, suddenly came into possession of the ball and drove it hard and fast into the goal. The School managed to obtain another goal before half-time and this raised the score to 3-0 in favour of the home team. This time the scorer was Frost, the School centre-forward. A strong movement developed on the School right wing and Cole took the ball right into the Bootham 25, he centred it to Broadhurst who passed the ball back to Frost and Frost had ample time to flick the ball past the goalkeeper, bewildered by the rapid exchange of passes. It would be unfair not to mention the valiant efforts of the Bootham goalkeeper, who was called upon to do a great deal of work. This he did with considerable success, which discouraged the School forwards, while definitely encouraging his own team. Play in the second half was much more evenly contested, and the School were only able to score one more goal, whilst the School defence was hard pressed on several occasions. The School's fourth goal came about halfway through the second half. Steele, P. M., successfully tackled the Bootham right wing and passed the ball on to Davison, a greatly improved player. Davison took the ball right up the wing and centred it. The ball was stopped by a Bootham defender who, however, deflected it over his own line and this resulted in a short-corner. The corner was taken by Cole, the ball was stopped by Frost, and Buckler, with unerring marksmanship, crashed the ball into the Bootham net. The game continued fast and furious until the final whistle was blown, but the School team always remained in full control of the game. Team :—R. H. Hanson ; H. C. Belchamber, J. A. Denison ; P. M.
