Unable to fulfil their League game with Bromley in consequence of the Kent club being engaged in a Cup-tie, Hampstead made arrangements for a visit by a Tottenham Hotspur team which included two or three amateurs. Though lacking the spirit of a competitive game, a gathering represented by a gate of about £25 enjoyed the match, which ended in a draw of one all, both goals being notched in the first half, Owens scoring for Hampstead and Davies for the Spurs.

It seemed at the outset that Tottenham, probably thinking they had easy prey, were not pulling their full weight, but there was considerably more life in their play after Owens, following tricky work, lobbed the ball over Smith's head into the net. His namesake, S.R. Smith, Hampstead's goalkeeper, did splendidly, but had no chance with the shot that took effect, a weakness in the back division leading to disaster.

In the second half play was of a spirited character, and the somnolence which had been noticeable in certain parts of the stand gave place to cheering. Many good efforts were made by the forwards on either side, and the two members of the great family of Smith can be congratulated on preventing further goals.

Hampstead were without the services of Wardlaw, Smy and Shearcroft. Sear well earned his place in the team, as also did Bishop. Rowe is a player who served the club well a year or two back, and can play in almost any position. Owens usually appears at left-back, but one could see it was not the first time he has been in a forward line.
