Rugby: Newton College v. Westward Ho: (R) The match between these school teams was looked forward to with the greatest amount of interest, and a large number of spectators assembled on the College ground to witness the game. The interest was enhanced by the fact that both teams had previously played Blundell’s School, Westward Ho being beaten by one point and Newton College drawing. An even game was then expected, and it was a great surprise to all concerned when Newton College won by five goals, one penalty goal, and two tries to nil. The combined play of the Newton halves, and the passing of the three-quarters, was far superior to that of their opponents. The Westward Ho forwards played a good, hard game, but had not the science and dribbling of the College. This is the second year that the College has not been beaten by any school in Devonshire. — Newton College Pinsent (back), Windsor, Wellen, Stock (three-quarter backs). Hammond, Light (half backs), O’Neill, Currie, V. Stuart, Avon-Jones, M. Everett, Lovett., Rutland, Champemaine, B. Everett (forwards).

Football Gossip [By Forward]: Torquay Athletic proceeded to Newton College two short on Saturday, and although a couple of substitutes were provided the “Pets” suffered their third successive defeat. It may be remarked in passing that such good players as Searle, Coombes, Roberts, Mudge, Tolley were absent, and that the College gained the victory through the fine goal-dropping by Wollen. The visitors had extremely hard lines, as on three occasions they were called back after getting in, although it was difficult to say why the whistle sounded, and Webber’s attempt to convert the second try from the touch line just missed the centre of the cross-bar by a few inches. The College back, Pinsent, played a very plucky game, and the three-quarters showed a great improvement on previous efforts, although Taylor was filling Stork’s place on the wing. Wollen’s drops were very coolly taken, and Windsor tackled much more smartly than in previous matches. Hammond and Light were always on the ball, and the forwards, led by O’Neill, quite held their own against their heavy opponents in the loose but were rushed in the scrums.
