IN A WINNING MOOD,

St. Sidwell's were once more in their true form against Newton G.W.R. Students, who were unfortunate to lose the goal keeper in the last quarter of an hour of the game. He is the best goal keeper seen in Exeter this season. The visiting centre played a sound game, and kept his front line well together. He very soon found the net, and not long after he passed to a colleague, who did the same. Aplin scored for the Saints, who were a goal behind at the interval. In the con- cluding stage St. Sidwell's held the upper hand, but, up to the time of his injury, the visiting custodian made some brilliant saves. Sellick had equalised before he went, and Eveleigh added goals, so that the Saints won by four to two.

Next Saturday St. Sidwell's will meet the College for the Exeter and Dis- trict League Championship.
