When the Galt Intermediates started on their tour of victory (as they suppos- ed) they doubtless never thought of. playing a game of football with At- wood. On Monday evening, Augast 4, they defeated Listowel by 2 goals to 0, then..journeyed to Wroxeter only to meet defeat by a score of 1 to0, then on to Brussels.did they go. Here they outshone themselves, defeating the strong Brussels team by 6to 8. Now itso happened that a game with At- wood was arranged by representatives of both teams in Listowel on Monday evening. The game was billed for Thursday evening, August 7th, at 6.80, The day opened beautifully but towards the middie of the afternoon the sky became oyercast and rain fell in tor- rents. This dampened the hopes of the local boys, Dut they determined to play. At645 p.m, referee St. Clair Wilson blew the whistle and the game started with Atwood defending the west goal. Joseph Ward took the kick-off and passed to Earl Switzer, he neatly turn- ed the ball to the right wing where Dan Steis took it under his fatherly pro- tection and with blood in his eye, let drive at the Galt goal and lo! Atwood had scored its first goal in one minute's play. It wasaneat bit of work and dazzied the Galt boys completely. The remainder of the first half saw some 'Splendid rushes by -both teams and Johnson Stewart cleverly defended the home goal by two or three quick movements, On changing ends the play bécame more exciting. Gult was determined tu score but could not get past those backs and half-backs, who did such yeoman service. After some clever work by the whole Atwood forward line. Joe Ward passed to Switzer, he, to Peebles, the latter shot it across in front of goal, the Galt .back slipped. or. rather was thade to lose his balance and George rdwh slammed a beauty through the centre of the goal. The play becanie'a little rougher, several players on both sides taking a soft and juiéy seat on mother earth, only to arise with their garmeuts a beautiful green, for say--it was wet. After many more exciting rushes by the local forward which did not materialize in a goal, the game end- ed 2 te 0 in favor of Atwood, and Galt boys looked sick, for you know it was the easiest kind of a proposition (before the match) but oh my! what a differ- ence in the--rain. NOTES. The Galt boys play a great game but Atwood played a greater. Bamford and Stewart used great headwork on the back division. Bundscho, you are a jewel and n mistake! You were everywhere; just where you were most wanted, Did. you notice how Kidd and Ed. Stewart played those outside wingmen ? They are all right, Joseph, you haye not forgotten a few of the old tricks. ail Say, Geor you should not have rolled that Galt back over so often, aes must heve jarred him consider- It was too bad that it rained so heavi- ly. There would have been one of the largest jcrowds in attendance in the history of football in Atwood. The re- ceipts were $13.90, not bad considering the weather. Now good poopie. help the boys out, Don't see them lose any- thing over the game, The names of the home players are as follows: Goal, Johnson Stewart; backs, John Stewart and Art. Bamford; half-backs, K. Kidd, Bundscho and E. | Stewart; left wing, Peebles, Switzer ; ard; right wing, Steis and Referee, St. Clair Wilson, Perth County Wills.
