EXETER CITY 0
CRYSTAL PALACE 6

Lamentably weak in defence and never combining as a team in attack Exeter City were beaten by six clear goals by Crystal Palace at St James's Park. The score in no way exaggerates the superiority of the Palace, who simply toyed with the Grecians in the second half. It is Exeter's heaviest home defeat of all time, and there is very little excuse to offer for the debacle.

CRYSTAL PALACE.

The City played as a bad team from start to finish, and some of their efforts in the second half bordered on the ludicrous. Outpaced and outclassed the Grecians went from bad to worse and the most unsatisfactory feature was that too many of the players appeared to lose heart. Two players who can be exonerated from this category are Angus and Clarke, who continued to give of their best even when the tide of adversity was flowing at its strongest. The six goals were scored as follows:
1. Manders beat Davies for possession. 6 minutes.
2. Carson, header from Bigg's centre. 48 minutes.
3. Manders, a low drive into the net. 49 minutes.
4. Carson, after Smith had failed to clear. 60 minutes.
5. Simpson, an open goal following miskicks by both the Exeter backs. 80 minutes.
6. Carson from Bigg's centre. 85 minutes.
