EXETER CITY 0
BRISTOL ROVERS 0.

Two players who were making their Southern Section debuts for the club were included in the Exeter City team against Bristol Rovers in this afternoon's return match at St James's Park. They were Smith, secured from Norwich City as part of the Houghton transfer deal, and Boundy, a young forward obtained from Wallasey earlier in the season. Miller, who is suffering from a bruised shoulder, was among the spectators in the grand-stand. There was a big holiday crowd of over 10,000 people, including many from Bristol, present, when Havelock started the game facing the east end of the ground.

Exeter City.
Davies; Gray and Smith; Clarke, Webb, and Angus; Scott, Wrightson, Hurst, Boundy, and J.Barnes.

Bristol Rovers.
Preedy; Pickering and Donald; Lewis, McLean, and Wallington; McNestry, McCambridge, Havelock, McKay, and Taylor.

Exeter City can consider themselves lucky to draw in this goalless game, for in the closing stages their goal underwent two miraculous escapes. Exeter neither impressed in attack or defence. The forwards were rarely together, and although Hurst did his best to pull things round he received very little support, and Wrightson spoiled all his good work by persisting in holding on to the ball far too long. Angus was the best of a moderate half-back, and Smith the better of the backs. Davies appeared to be affected by nerves in some of his clearances, and did not exhibit his usual steadiness.

Easy Success for Rovers Reserves.

BRISTOL R. RES. 3; EXETER C. RES., 0.

Bristol Rovers Reserves scored an easy victory over Exeter City Reserves in a Western League game, at Eastville yesterday, winning by three goals to nil. The game gave the spectators very little to enthuse over until the last 15 minutes. Throughout the Rovers were on top, but the forwards simply could not get going effectively, and the result was that erratic passing cost the Rovers many goals. The Exeter backs, including Hughes the ex- Bristol City player, were in torm, but even so the Rovers should have scored at least another three times. Gill opened the scoring in the first half, following good work by Watson, and the other goals came late in the second half from Jackson and Smith. Jackson's goal was a remarkable one. He sent in what appeared to be a centre, from the touch line, and the ball soared over the goal-keeper's head, struck the far upright and entered the net. Smith was the live wire of the forward line, while Routledge and Cope were outstanding in defence.
