ECFC 0-0 Millwall
Attendance: 6000

Good weather favoured today's Football League match, played at St James's Park between Exeter City and Millwall, clubs with two of the best "away" records in the Southern Division, but with some indifferent "home" performances to keep them humble. Exeter had Murray in the forward line in place of Blackmore, this being the only change from the team which did so well at Brentford last Saturday. Millwall, who included John Fort, the popular City back of pre-war days, had Dillimore for Oakes at inside left.

Millwall:

Millwall won the toss and defended the St James's Road end in the opening half, with Exeter facing a light breeze. The "Lions" managed to gain a point mainly owing to the work of Fort and Hill putting up such a strong defence. Exeter gave a thrilling display in the first half, with every department of the team seeming to be in form at the same time. The Millwall defence time after time was tested almost beyond endur ance. Moule and Kingsley were dangerous at first, but very soon, largely through the excellent play of Crompton the City forwards were busy.
Both wingers, together with Kirk and Murray, made numerous and threatening raids on the Millwall goal, and it was fortunate for the visitors that Fort and Hill were so good. It was certainly Fort's best game at Exeter since he became a "Lion." Even with the backs in such fine fettle Crawford had enough to do, but his work did not inspire confidence and on two occasions he lost possession of the ball. He was also inclined to take up his position too far out from his goal. The second half began quietly, but after a few minutes in which the play was confined to midfield Exeter were attacking again. Yet despite all the pressure exerted by the Grecians, Millwall came the closest to a goal. Pollard placed his clearance straight to Gore, who took the ball forward a yard or two and drove in a shot that cannoned against the Exeter crossbar. Then Murray, at the other end, ballooned the ball over the bar with Crawford yards out of his goal.

NOTES ON THE GAME.

Exeter should have taken the lead in the first half, but the forwards failed to profit by any of the chances won. The forward line lacked the skill necessary to deliver the goods. Against the strong and resolute defence put up by Fort and Hill, the Exeter forwards fell away both individually and collectively, and in the closing stages the greater danger came from Millwall. As the game advanced Millwall improved, and the positioning of their forwards was so good that although the line applied much less pressure than did that of Exeter, the attacks were more persistent and in the last fifteen minutes more threatening. Among the spectators was Levi Copestake, the clever winger, who was so prominent along with his partner, "Daisy" Bell, in Exeter's first years in professional football.
