EXETER CITY 3
IPSWICH TOWN

Two veteran players were the stars of this afternoon's match at St James's Park, where Exeter City delighted a large crowd by defeating Ipswich by three clear goals. Brown was Exeter's big personality. He was a cool defender who cleared his lines effectively and without fuss. MoLuckie was an Ipswich stalwart. He is a great footballer, as polished in attack as he is in defence. Millar, playing what was easily his best game since coming to England, was a revelation to many of the crowd. He made every use of his great speed, trapped the ball cleanly, provided a few chances for his inside men, and scored the last of Exeter's three goals.

Pollard, Green, and Sutherley, were defeated, deservedly, by a goal to nil.
