100 Years Ago Today, 10 December 1920

Soccer.

(By H.M.)

Last Saturday Cessnock came to Bulli to do battle against Balgownie in the final of the Nurse Cup. During the first half it was a splendid game, the ball travelling first to one end and then the other, the play being very fast, and neither side scoring. The second half had not been in progress long when Cessnock scored, this being only score in the game. When the game was close up towards the finish a breach was made, the spectators rushing the playing area and refusing to leave the ground. This is one thing that the committee will have to deal with if we want clean sport; we have asked the public to keep outside the line, but they do not try to assist the committee in any way to give the players a chance. There will be a good game next Saturday in Ball's Paddock between Woo nona and Corrimal, the gate receipts to be donated towards the ambulance; These men have given their services free all the season, so roll up and give them a helping hand! This game will be worth going a long way to see. Mr. C. Baker will referee the game. Admission, gents. 6d, ladies 6d.

SOCCER FOOTBALL.

The St. George District Soccer Football Club, which did so well in the metropolitan competitions last year, has decided to enter two teams in the Second League and All-age Competitions for next season. The club had between 20 and 30 members last year, so the formation of two teams will over come the difficulty caused by an excess number of players. A meeting will be held in Colvin's Hall, Hurstville, on Thursday next to arrange details.

The December 'Windsor.'

We have received from Mr. H. Pankhurst a copy of the December number of the ''Windsor Magazine.' The country, called Bashan as it is to-day, is described in one of the articles, while another discants on the charm for the crowd of that popular game of football which is known as 'Soccer.' There is the usual good supply of complete stories by favourite authors, and much to give amusement in the 'Editor's Scrap Book.'
