The Gavelyte, January 1909

I} -------- girls' and a boys' team. Tlw fir;-;t game was between the girls and was very exciting throughout: The game was won by the Clifton girls hy a score of 10 to 2. ThP Clifton girls played very clever ball and showl'd that they were in good form but the college girls had had but little practice and played strictly by this year's rules, which have many restrictibns in guard– ing, and make it much easier to throw goals, while the Clifton girls had playe l ,inly by L1st year's rul e; a1d, on th1t a~co :rnt, the game was hardly fair, but it is alright, ClifLon, come back and play by the new rules we will turn the score around and then double it.
