...second eleven Jackson did some good playing, making short gains around the end and following the ball closely. McNear also made a pretty run but could do nothing against the centre. Punting was often resorted to during the afternoon, but Fennessy kicked poorly. Collamore blocked off in good style and Russell played better than Shea at centre.
