SURREY'S OPPONENTS Surrey meet Devon at Torquay Sn Wednesday and Cornwall- ar. Penzance on Thursday. The teams to -oppose-Surrey in these friendly have been chosen as follows: Tl-a Sk.T (Malu 1 kk.lis A -at" Ruirby Union WOMEN Droupnt mamie a try uum a trass Gibson, but Stalker failed to convert it. Still less happily Manchester now lost Eimmer, their left wing, who suffered concussion from a hard tackle and took no further part in the game. The Glasgow three-quarters continued to look dangerous.

Wylie was outstanding among the forwards, and at the interval the visitors still led 3-0. Early in the second half Manchester were awarded two penalties, but Parkinson succeeded in kicking a goal only from the second. More Manchester pressure then followed, but after some judicious touch-kicking by the Glasgow half-backs the Glasgow forwards dribbled' over from a line-out and Johnson touched down for the try. Stalker again failed to convert from' near touch. Outstanding players for Manchester were Nelson.
