Rugby: It was a delightful treat to see the College boys piling on the agony against their far heavier opponents. They literally made rings around them in the loose play. Pinsent has very little to do at back, the Westward Ho! men seldom getting so near home, but he made several splendid returns. Windsor was the best of the three-quarters in an aggressive sense, though for collaring Stork took the cake. Wollen played a good all-round game. Light was the smartest of the halves. He never played so well, and O’Neill, the captain, was the most conspicuous in the forward rank.
