THOMPSON OF OLDHAM ATHLETIC JOINS EXETER CITY.
AND PLAYS A GOOD GAME AGAINST SOUTHPORT.

Saturday December 13th: Exeter City on Thursday succeeded in signing the player they admire so much following his brilliant displays for Oldham Athletic against them earlier in the season. He was included in the team at left half today at St James's Park, where Southport provided the opposition, and had an excellent game. In part exchange for Thompson the City have had to part with Ray John, a capable and adaptable player, who in three and a half years at Exeter has played in practically every position on the field. It remains to be seen as to which of the two clubs has got the best of the bargain.

Exeter City: Hunter; Foley, MacDonald; Mitchell, Oliver, Thompson; Stiffle, Rees, Calland, Nicholls, Dale.
Southport:- Richardson; Dodd, Rankin; Parkinson, Darvell, Hitchen; Schofield, Kinloch, Smith, Morgan, McDermott.

Exeter won by 3 - 2 but after Mitchell with a penalty had scored for them goals by Dodd and McDermott put the visitors in front. It was left to Johnny Nicholls to fire home the two goals by which Exeter eventually won.
