CLITHEROE INFLICT DEFEAT ON THE MARINE.


ENTERPRISING LOSERS.


xSouthport Reserve. 5; Lancaster Town, 5. —


on Wednesday evening when, at Shaw Bridge ground, they defeated Liverpool Marine by five goals to three. The Castleites, despite the absence of four regular players, were never behind and at one time were leading 4—1. Then in a hectic final ten minutes, the Marine got two good goals and missed a gorgeous chance of equalising and it was not until tho last minute when Singleton cut in to score a grand goal that tho issue was settled. The Marino impressed as a keen and capable team, vigorous, enterprising and clean. They played fast, open foot­ ball, making straight for goal at every opportunity and contesting determinedly for every ball. They had more enthusiasm than Ciitheroe, but less resourcefulness and that was why they lost. A good scheming forward would swiftly make the Marine

ently Ciitheroe have exchanged Chadwick for Rweenev. and on Saturday's showing the change is desirable, as Rowson made a good leader and Chadwick showed en­ thusiasm and power. He was unlucky to he hurt early in the first half, when he damaged his head in a collision with the opposing centre-half, while late in the game ho was brought down heavily, and hobbled about the left wing afterwards. He is evidently a pln.vcr of courage and capacity. Chorlcy had no fewer than ten positional changes, evidently having taken panic action following a 4—0 reverse to Morccamhe. The teams were:—

On one occasion, however, the- Ciitheroe goalkeeper had to be very aleip, and lie showed his agility by fisting out the ball, catching the return and field- ing a third quick shot soon afterwards. Ciiathurn was well watched, hut Jie re­ mained C'lithcroe’s most dangerous forward. Chadwick, too, was prominent, and Rowson got in a couple of hard shots which Harper did very well to stop. For a fairly long period, Clithoroo's passes repeatedly went astray. The Chorlev defenders took good position, and the Clitheroo forwards were held for a long time. There were occa­ sional rushes and Clithcroo looked every bit as dangerous as Chorlev, Jndeed the home forwards were poor in front of goal and much good work by Badger on tho left was wasted. Bunch was lacking in finish­ ing by both teams, and there was no sur­ prise to find the position at tho interval:

I t will take them several

only when Clithcroe copied Chorley in open football that they made headway. Marsden was brilliant and needed to be, for neither of the backs was up to true .standard. Wilson was often beaten bv Badger, while Lonsdale found the lively ball a source of worry, his kicking being by no means as .accurate as usual. The halves worked hard, but were inclined to indulge in un­ necessary fancy work, tapping the hall instead of hitting it. All three suffered from this fault for three-quarters of the game. The forwards were a long time in settling down, and neither winger was given tho ball in front of him during the first half, when the Chorley hacks inter­ cepted cleverly. Rowson distriguted the ball reasonably well, and proved a good bustler and a hard shooter. Chadwick lias the samo qualities, so that Allen can per­ haps be spared from tho heat of hard attacking to act as link between forwards and halves. At the present, however, he wanders much too far, often leaving Single­ ton without assistance.

Then Badger came into the picture for Chorloy and ho fre­ quently beat .Wilson only to see his centres waste. Chorlcy had a fortunate escape when Chntburn missed by inches, and again when Rowson dashed through and shot too early, giving Harper a chance he ought never to have had. Blav con­ tinued to bo very scrappy with neither side gaining an advantage until C'hatburn took up an intelligent pass from Rowson, raced for goal and flashed the ball past Harper into the net.


No great improvement was seen in the

They introduced tho Hargreaves brothers, Edgar and “ Dick,” in defence and had Milner and Edgington, a Bolton youth, in the l'oiwanl line. Gaps in tho defensive scheme were obvious and cohesion among the forwards was not notable. Even so, they were craftier and worked and deserved to win.

The Marino wero dangerous in breakaway rushes but C'litheroe survived until, after 25 minutes, a nondescript sort of raid ended in Blatt scoring, the defence being in a terrible tangle.

Crosbio was again called into action, having all his work cut out in dealing with stinging shots from Thornley and Richardson. The inevitable goal came after 12 minutes play, Tliornlev open­ ing the Calderstones account, following a


scrimmage near the Lancaster goal. Soon afterwards, S. Edwards added a second fioui a penalty for an infringement for hands against one of the Lancaster de­ fenders. Taylor, the opposing outside- left, was causing Henderson a fair amount of anxiety, several keen tussles occurring. Crosbie repeatedly came to the rescue of his side, a great save being made from a drive by Richardson from close range. Close on the interval, Taylor headed a goal for Lancaster.

Shortly afterwards the visitors went down and Woodworth equalised with a cross slidt. Returning to the attack Woods got away on the home left and centred well for Cheetham to again heat Bontfiold. Following a spell of even play, Bradford advanced and a miskick gave Woodworth a chance which was accepted and the score was again level. The home side, however, were the most impressive aud got definitely on top. The speed and dash of Woods was a troublo to the visiting defence and a further centre from him enabled W. Astin to score a third goal. Within a minute, Choetham put Chatham further ahead by putting on a fourth and later a fifth goal. Just before the interval, Bcatficld was fortunate to put a shot from Woods round the post. Half-time:
