On Wednesday the team journeyed to Paignton and defeated the Avenue by 3 to nil. Newton had the best of the game from first to last. C. B. Kay kicked 2 goals and C. L. Donaldson the other. H. L. Hobson of Newton College is an acquisition, his play at centre-half being a treat. P. H. Foster, the captain, was also in excellent form and Pinsent is developing into a very good little half.
