EXETER CITY 1
QUEEN'S PARK RANGERS 1.

Miller made his initial Third Division appearance of the season, the former captain, who is now on the open-to-transfer list at his own request, displacing Hughes at left back.

The referee, Mr S. F. Rous, is an old St Luke's student, and his early experience with the whistle was gained in East Devon League football. He is now a sports master at a school in Watford, and the Secretary of the Isthmian League.
The rumours which have been flying about Exeter to the effect that Manchester City had made an offer for the transfer of Fred Whitlow were officially denied by the City club today. There has, in fact, been no offer for Whitlow from Manchester City. Seven thousand spectators were present when Davies won the toss and the Rangers kicked off towards St James's Road.

Exeter City. Davies; Gray, Miller; Clarke, Angus, Webb; Welsby, Walters, Whitlow, Houghton, Hurst.

Rangers. Beecham; Barrie, Ashman; March, Goodier, Blake; Emmerson, Allen, Blackman, Devine, Clarke.

Referee:-
Mr S.F.Rous, of Hemel Hempstead.

Exeter City came close to losing their unbeaten home record, but a second half goal enabled them to wipe out the Rangers' first half lead. The Londoners fully deserved their share of the honours. They were a team which showed great grit, they were faster than Exeter on the ball, and their passing was amazingly accurate. Emmerson was a worrier to the Exeter City defenders, while Goodier was the perfect "policeman" of Whitlow. Exeter's efforts were very often flurried and too hastily conceived, and their forwards found Beecham in his very best form. Plenty of honest endeavour was shown by both sides but the play did not reach a high standard, and there was desultory periods. Both goalkeepers were found employment early on, while a good header from Devine just missed its billet. A spell of pressure by Queen's Park was met by cool and resourceful defenders, but speedy raids by Whitlow and Hurst carried them to the Londoners' quarters, where the efforts were smothered.
Emmerson dropped several dangerous centres into the home goal, but Davies was always alert and showed his usual good judgment, as did Beecham when leaving his charge to thwart Hurst. Houghton and Welsby lost chances for Exeter, but just before half time Blackman scored from another of Emmerson's centres to give the visitors the lead. The features of the second half were the efforts made by the Exeter forwards and a brilliant display by Beecham. He touched super form, and by his clever anticipation and remarkable agility provided the biggest thrills of the period. Exeter, however, contributed largely to their partial loss by their extra zeal. Their strong efforts were often disjointed, and it was only in the closing stages that they settled down to their usual game. Walters eventually equalised for the Grecians from a neat pass by Whitlow. The game got rough in the closing stages, and Exeter should have had a penalty when Houghton was tripped by Barrie six yards from goal after cleverly beating three opponents.
