F.A.Cup 2nd round.
City v Swindon Town.

Because of similarity in colours both Exeter City and Swindon had to change, under the rules of the F.A.Cup competition. The City played in gold shirts with black collars and sleeves, and the Railwaymen turned out in blue.

EXETER CITY: Singleton; Clark, Rowe;
Harrower, Doyle, Davey; McClelland, Fallon, Smith, Mackay, Regan.
SWINDON TOWN: Burton; Hunt, May;
Kaye, Hudson, Batchelor; Lunn, Wheeler, Onslow, Simner, Bain.

ATTENDANCE 14,764, receipts £1,383. RESULT:
EXETER CITY 3 SWINDON TOWN 0.

After surviving strong pressure in the first half Exeter City were the more assertive force in this grimly fought F.A.Cup 2nd round tie at St James's Park this afternoon. The winners made full use of scoring chances. The losers showed glimpses of midfield craft which was not backed by anything like the same ability to finish. The City deserved their victory. There can be no two opinions over that, just as every impartial observer will concede that the three goals to nil margin was flatteringly big. The heavy state of the pitch imposed a big test upon the stamina of the players, and Exeter, better endowed in this respect, were the stronger finishers. The goals were scored by Smith (8 minutes), Fallon (70), Mackay (82).

Southern League:
Cheltenham Town 4 City Reserves 1 (Allcock, own goal).

MILLWALL v EXETER CITY,
POSTPONED.

Reports from all over the country tell the same story of snowbound and icy Soccer pitches, and several grounds were unplayable today. The fate of the City's match at Millwall was uncertain yesterday, when there were several inches of snow on the ground. The decision to abandon the game was made by the referee, Mr S.V.Davis, this morning due to the snow freezing overnight.

The match at St James's Park between the City Reserves and Royal Marines was also cancelled.
