Giving one of their finest displays, Hampstead worsted Windsor and Eton by four goals to two at Claremont-road on Saturday, the two Athenian League points thus gained now placing them in a position which should obviate the necessity of seeking re-election to the League. The score by no means over-represents Hampstead's superiority. It was not until just before the end that Windsor and Eton found the net, first through Holtum anf then by Entwistle, Owens apparently showing signs of tiredness.

Right from the start Hampstead took the upper hand, and thanks to the constructive play of the halves, Young being particularly effective, the forwards had plenty of chances. Shearcroft and Neil made several attempts, Shearcroft heading the ball a good deal, but Taylor was in fine form in goal. Occasionally the visitors made a raid, generally on the right, and had their shooting been equal to their combination damage might have been done. An almost certain goal was saved by Young, who conceded a corner. The first goal came at the end of twenty-five minutes through Neil in a scrimmage, the ball being sent across by Reinke, who was showing much-improved form. Five minutes later another goal came from the same player, Moody sending to Levy, who in turn gave it to Neil. In scoring this goal Neil was injured, and had to leave the field. When he re-appeared plaster had been applied to his face. At the interval the score was 2-0.

In the second half Hampstead scored two more, and Neil came in for a good round of cheering for performing the hat trick, this goal being a wonderfully good effort. Perhaps the best goal of all, however, was the last, Smy putting in one of those shots which is capable of beating any goal-keeper. It was a good reward for clever play. Taylor in this half was responsible for many fine saves, Reinke being one who gave him a good deal of trouble, while Levy put in much good work. The half-backs, too, had no hesitation in shooting whenever opportunities were presented, and having regard to the fierceness of the attack Taylor may be congratulated in keeping the score to four. Smith, in the other goal, was not worked overmuch, but in the last quarter-of-an-hour he saved a number of good shots, and it was not his fault that the net was twice pierced.

Little fault could be found with Hampstead's players as a whole, and the weather being fine, spectators had an enjoyable afternoon. Windsor and Eton's goals were not begrudged, seeing that Hampstead were never in danger of defeat, but when a defence begins to totter anything may happen and in the next few matches Hampstead must fight to the last ditch.
