She found hard sledding, but she worked down to Brimfield's eight-yard line before she was finally halted.

Then her right half romped back for a try at goal and joyously booted the ball.

But, to the enormous relief of the onlookers, the ball went under the bar instead of over, and Canterbury romped back again.

That third period was very evenly contested, Brimfield, smarting under a sense of wounded dignity, playing well together and allowing Canterbury no more opportunities to attempt scores.

The visitors, still untamed, sprang strange and weird formations and attacks.
