AT HOLKER-ST. BARROW.

SATURDAY OCTOBER 31ST:

BARROW UP THEN HELD TO A DRAW.

Three goals down after little more than half an hour's play, Exeter City hit back to score twice in a couple of minutes just before the interval. goal in the second half gained them a very useful point at Barrow.

Barrow:- Hayes; Stani forth, Cahill; King, Robinson, Clark; Reid, Murdock, Robertson, Munro, Kemp.

City: Jones; Foley, MacDonald; Mitchell, Oliver, Thompson; Stiffle, Rees, Wilkinson, Calland, Micklewright.

Referee Mr F.McGloughlin of Manchester.

Robertson put Barrow two up in 16 minutes and Reid made it three before Wilkinson and Stiffle replied in quick succession, shortly before the interval. Graham Rees was the one City forward to consistently follow up the attacks, Micklewright was dangerous anywhere within shooting range, and Calland laid on the passes which led to the first two goals. The point-saving goal in the last minute was scored by Rees with a hard shot along the ground well out of the reach of the goalkeeper. Because of the dining-car attendants' strike the City Football Club party had to make special arrangements for their meals on their 300 miles railway journey to Barrow yesterday. Lunches and teas were put on the train for them first at Bristol and next at Crewe.

EXETER CITY RESERVES 3
YIEWSLEY 3.

Yiewsley:- Gooch; Lowden, Jefferson; Mulholland, Powell, Dobson; Hall, Brown, Menzies, Tomkys, Flood.

Atkins however levelled the scores after five minutes, heading the ball in from Dale's corner kick. Menzies then scored for Yiewsley and Birch for the Reserves. Exeter went in front for the first time after the interval when Hill got a goal for them, but victory was denied them when Flood going through on his own netted a grand equalising goal for Yiewsley.

South Western League 

Falmouth 1-1 Exeter City A

Exeter City took the lead in the 65th minute at Falmouth, and it was not until five minutes from the end that the home team equalised to gain a point. In the first half Fal- mouth did most of the attacking, but their shooting was off target. Exeter used the off-side trap consistently, and centre-half Packer was strong in defence. Falmouth did find the net twice, but both Peach and Sulli- van had their efforts disallowed for offside. Exeter's attack made little headway against the home defence. Inside-right D. Williams put Exeter ahead after both sides had missed chances. Andrew. who switched from the right-wing to centre-forward for the second period scored Falmouth's equaliser.

Scorer:- Exeter City Williams,

South Western League 

Exeter City A 2-0 Newton Abbot Spurs. 

Newton Defence Fails

Newton Abbot Spurs are bottom of the South- Western League, and unless they improve their defence, they will never rise much higher. Although their forward line always looked dangerous at St. James' Park last night, it was their defence that let them down Exeter won 2-0, but if their forwards had had a little more luck they could have had another three goals. Centre-forward Rackley scored Exeter's goals, and he was their best forward. Right-winger Morgan and right-half Mitchell were promiment for Newton

Scorers:- Exeter City Rackley, Og.
