THE SCHOOLS

INFLUENZA AFFECTS GAMES

By RAMBLER

The epidemic has hindered the carrying out of the schools' sporting programme. On Wednesday Fort Street defeated Technical High School at Soccer 1-0 in a fair game, though there was some rather wild kicking. Dudley was very safe in Fort-street goal. An acquisition from Newcastle in Jones promises to develop into a very serviceable back. Hopman, who was last year in the champions, Rosehill, was the best on the field, at centre, and Shand and Storey were the pick of the forwards.
Technical played a hard game, and are sure to improve. Markham, who appeared to lack practice, is as keen as ever.
The High Schools are fortunate in having R. Goldsmith, of School for the Deaf, available for refereeing.

South Coast Times and Wollongong Argus

SOUTH COAST v. SYDNEY.

(By Observer.)

Ball's Paddock was the scene of the best game of Soccer ever seen in this district, when Sydney met the pick of the South Coast. The crowd which witnessed the game was easily the biggest ever at a football game in the Illawarra district; it was estimated between 1500 to 2000. The ladies, who are becoming very enthusiastic re the Soccer code numbered about 300 or more, and they enjoyed themselves and barracked as keenly for the Coast boys as did the menfolk. The committee seemed to have their hands full trying to keep the crowd off the line, which is always a hard job, especially when the game was exciting as was Monday's game. The Bulli Band was in attendance and provided good music during the afternoon.

Judging the two teams as they sat for the camera, Sydney was far heavier than the local team. The curtain-raiser was a competition game between Woonona A. and Bullli All-Blacks, which the latter won after hard play by 4-0. Players who did well were Joe Woods, J. Roberts, Coulson, Evans for Bulli, and Creighton, Hill, and Mitchell for Woonona. The big game got going on time, the Coast scoring the first goal; after some splendid play Sydney equalised with a shot, which Brown in goal took too cheaply and failed to stop. No further scores were recorded for either side. Players who were especially good were A. Jones, A. Kerr, A. Woods for the Coast, and Sydney had something good in their goalkeeper, who saved their reputation for them, also A. Creighton, G. Smart and Dodger White were good; in fact, the teams were splendidly matched.

The Journal in Adelaide

At the end of a rather long article called Fotball Gossip[ we are told that Norths beat Cheltenham 1-0 at Cheltenham

Someone has tagged this as AUFC in Trove. This is quite offensive.
