EXETER CITY v. TORPOINT 
Champions of Plymouth League
at St James's Park

Saturday, January 5th.

Alec Davidson, the Exeter City captain, has joined the Devon Regiment and will be stationed at Plymouth. He will also assist Plymouth Argyle whenever possible. He came here from Halifax, and learned his football while on the books at Tottenham Hotspur. Davidson, who has been in the Ever Faithful for three football seasons is one of Exeter's best players, especially at centre half. In this position he is unsurpassed in skill and trickery and dazzling footwork. Following on the departure of Davidson, Jimmy Sellick is the new City captain.

Today, at St James's Park, Exeter City entertained Torpoint, the club which hold the Plymouth League  championship. The City have suffered severe losses during the week past, Alec Davidson having gone to Plymouth to join the Army, while Bastin, who is a greatly improved half-back, has been laid up with bronchitis. Robins and Turner were also away, the latter's knee having been "crocked."

City :- Vibart; Fenwick, Hill; Morgan, W.Wells, Muncey; Sellick, Thomas, Massey, Wilson, and Reid.

Torpoint:- Tyrrell; Mildren, Memory; Macey, C.Reynolds, Tabb; Coaker, Selley, Prideaux, Barnes, and F.Reynolds. Referee:- Mr Thompson.

A fine game played before the biggest crowd the City have had at St James's Park this season ended with Exeter winning by the odd goal of five after a goal-less first half. This victory was a happy augury for Sellick's captaincy. It was, moreover, thoroughly deserved, for Torpoint, though a fine heavy team with grand combination among the forwards, always appeared beaten whenever the City essayed the long passing game. The penalty they were awarded, which Vibart saved from Macey's shot, was very tamely taken. They were three goals down at that time, and they cannot from any point of view say that they were unlucky to lose. Exeter's goals were scored by Massey (2), and Wilson. Torpoint's goals were obtained in the last quarter of an hour by Barnes.
