ELPHIN V. LAUNCESTON UNITED.  

Elphin continued their victorious career in the Northern "Soccer" League on Saturday, at Launceston, when they easily defeated the United. The latter were unfortunate in being without the services of several of their best men, and having to include substitutes. For the first 20 minutes the game was of an even nature, but the Elphin forwards, when they settled down fairly to work, played all over the opposition, and S. Davis scored a couple of goals in quick succession. The United forwards were making strenuous endeavours to break through the Elphin defence, but without avail, Zabiela's tackling and kicking being fine. Elphin's advance line were combining splendidly, and their side finished up the half 3 goals to the good, United failing to notch a point.

For a time in the second half United took a hand, but try as they might the defence of their opponents could not be broken, some of the recent recruits especially showing up in this department. The work of the Elphin forwards was a revelation, and time after time they carried the leather into their opponents' goal area, and Harris scored from a hot shot. One-sided play in favour of Elphin continued to the end, and they finished up winners by 7 goals to nil. Davie (4), Harris (2), and Zabiela scored for the winners.

After a well-contested game, Warwick won by 11 to nil. Mr. Hayman was referee.

TASMANIAN TEAM'S TOUR.

SYDNEY, July 24.

The Tasmanian team of British Asso- ciation footballers played the third match of their tour in New South Wales today against the Combined Navy team. The weather was dull, and the turf slippery in places, but the game proved interesting. The Navy played much the better football in the first half, but subsequently the Tnsmaninns put more zest into their play, and the forwards, with the exception of Jones, who was slightly lame, made a very good showing in several attacks. Jones (Tasmania) left the field about ten minutes before halftime owing to his injury. The Navy led by 3 to 1 at halftime, and the final score was 3 all.

The Tasmanians will leave Sydney by train to-morrow for Newcastle, where they will play a team representing that district on Saturday.

BRITISH ASSOCIATION.

THE INTERSTATE MATCH.

That the Tasmanlans have an unenviable record must be conceded, but is should be said to their credit they are bearing their losses bravely. They were aware when they left the island State that their trip was primarily for educational purposes, so that the defeats sustained are only means to an end. They should certainly have many hints to convey to the players left behind, for the New South Wales eleven exemplified the majority of the scientific intricacies of footwork and head work of which they were capable.
The principal point, however, to which attention might be directed is that the player who is not speedy in all his actions, whether in racing for possession, tackling, kicking, or passing, is suffering such a handicap as to render him of little use to a side. Cleverness in beating an opponent by footwork is invaluable when done in combination with fleetness of foot as occasion arises, but, alone, it is easily overshadowed by vigour and dash.
However the Tasmanians may be judged on their displays of football, they are to be complimented on the extremely neat design of the representative shield worn on their jer- seys. It consists of an outline map of the State of Tasmania, within which is worked an association football. The idea should com- mend itself when the time comes for designing a badge for a team of Australian players. A soccer football within an outline map of Australia should be an appropriate design.
 The easy manner in which Victoria also defeated the Tasmanians, who scored 1 goal to 10 in the two interstate matches played during the tour, suggests that a close, keen game might be anticipated between New South Wales and Victoria. Now that there is a revival in interstate contests, there ap- pears no valid reason for postponing the renewal of New South Wales v Victoria matches. The last of such interstate games was played in Sydney 24 years ago. The proposal to hold a carnival in Melbourne next year is, therefore, timely, and should prove an attraction somewhat out of the ordinary.

23 July 1912, Queanbeyan Age

Many of the spectators in Saturday's Soccer football match were a little nonplussed regarding the manoeuvres of the players. They could not understand butting the ball with the head or the goalkeeper giving it an upper-cut with his closed fist. There is no doubt about it being a scientific game, but writer, like the canny Scot, " has his doots" about the game catching on locally. The public like to see the good old Rugby game with the passing rushes, runs and tackles.

FOOTBALL

THE HIGH SCHOOL GAME. (To the Editor.)

Sir.-Poor old High School. For some time now there have been indications in the press of the insidious efforts of some body or other designed to wreak some sort of revenge upon the heads of the High School for daring to remain loyal to 'soccer,' and not dancing to the crack of the whip of the Football League. It is not alone that the League assails this 'soccer' stronghold, but various obliging members of the Legislature, by devious designss, seek to humiliate the school by getting one of its financial props lopped away. There seems to be a concerted movement between the Australian football people and the Labor Party to make the High School eat humble pie if it will not be 'persuaded' to cast aside the baneful influence of 'soccer' and embrace the national game. Why the game, if it Is so meritorious, needs so much covert championing, beats me. Some Labor members even dub the young men of tho school 'snobs.' I suppose if they 'took on' Australian football they would cost the skin of snob and be come jolly good 'blokes,' Mr. Boas professes amazement that the school should play anything but the 'national game,' Thore are a lot of things, we are told to do because of the so-called nationalism — one of them is 'Vote for the Labor Party,' Senator Needham has an especial weakness for that sort of claptrap, but we don't all follow his advice. 


Perhaps Mr, Boas doesn't know that in Queensland the Marist Brothers (equivalent to the Christian Brothers here) permit most of their schools to play 'soccer.' Some play Rugby; but I don't know of any that play the national game. In New South Wales there is precious little of the national game played in the colleges. They play another game, which they are inclined to think is very much more ''national'— Rugby—and yet it is rarely that anyone wonders. That is left to Westralians at this remarkably late day. The fact is, Mr. Boas and his co-workers are alarmed at the steady but certain spread of 'soccer' throughout Australasia, and, like Canute with the Sea, they are trying to keep it back. They seek to begin with the High School. Training College and the central schools have all had their sieges, and still they hold out. If I am not a bad Judge, High-School will, too, for there is an atmosphere of order about Westralian 'soccer' which will kecp it flourishing in spite of its traducers and enemies.

SOCCER AT THE SILVER CITY.

BROKEN HILL, July 20. SOUTH AUSTRALIA V. BROKEN HILL.

South Australia won the toss and Bastin set the ball in motion. A combined attack was at once instituted upon White. Towndrow repulsed the attack, and play was transferred to the other end; Broken Hill backs were eminently safe, and nothing resulted. Again the Barrier boys got going and Jackson, at half had a fine tussle to thwart a determined attempt to break through, Mellor and Smith both testing the goalie. Corners were forced, Bat nothing resulted, thanks to a fine defence by South Australia. Brokens had all the best of the argument, and individual play was responsible for South Australia's backwardness. Shephard and Monkhouse carried the ball well down, but Stewart missed a fine centre. Nixon cleared, and again things looked black for the visitors. Yeomans, however, got possession, and relieved the pressure. Half-time arrived with, the score sheet blank. Upon resuming South Australia took a firm grip of affairs, and a well conceived plan of long passing looked favourable until Reynolds kicked clear. Again Broken Hill got going and corners fell to their forwards. There was nothing doing, however, as Pollock cleared the press, and again South Australia got away with J. Stewart in possession. Even play ruled until Threadgill broke through and beat Ready with a well-timed shot that gave every excuse to the goalie for allowing it to pass. Brokens tried hard to equalise, and forced the pace. Nothing resulted, however, and a fast clean game ended in favour of the visitors by 1 goal to nil. Prominent amongst the losers were Nixon, Reynolds, Mellor, Bastin, and Smith. South Australia were best represented by T. Stewart, Shephard, Jackson, Yeomans, White, and Pollock.

This is the first time this fast-becoming popular game will be played in Queanbeyan, and, as both teams are said to be exceptionally good, the match should be interesting. The proceeds are in aid of the hospital and the promoters are to be highly commended for their action in endeavouring to assist this institution. The kick-off takes place punctually at 3 o'clock and the game promises to be close and exciting. Mr. W. J. Field is the hon. secretary and tells us that a large number of people from Acton and Duntroon are coming in to witness the match. The small charge of 6d will be made for admittance to the ground.

TASMANIA V. VICTORIA.

 

TASMANIANS BADLY DEFEATED.

 

MELBOURNE, July 17.

At the Melbourne cricket ground to-day Victoria and Tasmania met for the first time under British Association rules. Splendid weather prevailed, and the match attracted a fair number of spectators. The teams were -

Victoria - Goal, Moore, Full Backs: Hyde and Ellison, Half Backs: Anderson, Lowe (capt ), and Cummings, Forwards: Spencer, G. Brown, Forbes, Church, and Thomas.

Tasmania - Goal, Reid, Full Backs: J. Almond and Coombs, Half Backs: Hughes, A. Almond and Perry, Forwards: Jones, Pratt, Benson, Vincent and Mirrlees.

Referee: W Beach, Linesmen: W. B. Gilbert (Victoria), and R. Vincent (Tasmania).

Tasmania lost the toss and kicked off with the sun in their faces, the game being very even for the first twenty minutes. Then Victoria seemed to get into their stride, and fairly overran the Tasmanian defence, half-time finding them leading by six goals to nil. The second half was much more evenly contested, but the Tasmanians were clearly outplayed, and scoring once to Victoria's twice were defeated by eight goals to one. Pratt obtained Tasmania's solitary point

The Argus contained the same report but concluded with the following: 

The Victorian selectors are to be congratulated on picking such a good all-round team and it would be unfair to pick out any particular man. The goals were scored by Church (5), Forbes (2), and Brown (1) for Victoria, while Pratt obtained Tasmania's solitary point.

SYDNEY MORNING HERALD

BRITISH ASSOCIATION. N.S.WALES V TASMANIA.

The Tasmanian team left Hobart yesterday for Victoria, en route for New South Wales. The interstate match, Tasmania v Victoria, will be played in Melbourne to-day, and the touring team will leave for Sydney by to-morrow's train, and will arrive on Friday.

The Tasmanian British Football Association was formed in 1909. Mr. J. J. B. Honeysett, the manager of the present team, being one of the founders. Mr. Honeysett was instrumental in starting, at New Norfolk, some five years ago, the first club to play "soccer" In Tasmania, and has since been very closely associated with the organisation of the game in the island State. In August last year a New South Wales team was invited to play in Hobart, and although the Tasmanians were defeated by 6 goals to 3, interest in the Association game was stimulated, with the result that it now has a hold on   public support, and the code is gradually   increasing in favour among players throughout Tasmania.  

The Tasmanians are expected to improve on their display of last year, and in the match which is to be played on Saturday next at the Sydney Cricket Ground are likely to extend the New South Wales team. The home players, however, are now in splendid form. The match should prove worthy of the attention of those who are interested in the scientific footwork which is characteristic of the soccer code.

On Wednesday, July 24, it Is proposed to match the visitors against a team from the Navy, and on Saturday, July 27, they will meet a representative Northern District eleven at

Newcastle.

FOOTBALL. 

"Soccer, soccer," you hear a number of apparently intelligent educated murmur. "Let's see! Ah! I know. This is the new summer cool drink. Manufacturer must be getting in earlv, though." ''Wassatt you say? A game of football. Dear me, what names they do be inventing nowadays, to be sure," and so on and such like and so forth. 
For the express purpose of enlightening a large number of Hillites who have probably been underground for a long tune, it may be stated that 'soccer' is the name only by which association football is known throughout the world. It is a game of FOOTBALL (capital letters, please. Mr. Editor) played with the feet, and consequently differs slightly from the Australian invention. It is a game, moreover, that attracts a trifling attendance of 120,000 excited spectators to witness the Cup Final. This match may be fairly stated to be the premier sporting event which takes places in Merrie England, where it is alleged, the average person takes his sport sadly. 
"Soccer'' has not yet in Australia reached the English standard of enthusiasm, but the day is not far distant when the British Association pastime will claim its thousands of adherents. The game has already become popular on the Barrier, as witness the interest taken by the people is the few matches played to date. 
Now Hillites will be enabled to watch this fascinating sport as an interstate function, and from present appearances everything points to a successful issue on Saturday next, when a combined team from South Australia will try conclusions with a Barrier contingent on the Western Oval. 
The following players will supply a strong combination:— J. Reedie, C. Nixon (captain), Langstaff, Reynolds, Handley, Normington, H. Smith, W. Mellor, Bastian, Clements, Macarthy, Aldridge, Cleal, Shelley, Brown, and Kemp. A team from the foregoing ought to be able to wipe out the defeat experienced by Broken Hill last Easter, when they met South Australia in the wheat State. 
The Umberumbikans intend to make July 21 a red letter day, when it is proposed to entertain the visiting team. The men from the waterworks have a style all their own, and I am tipping a great surprise for Mr. Holiday and his crowd. 
As showing the friendly feeling of the B.R.F.A. towards the soccerites, that body has decided to stand down on the 20th, thereby giving a chance to all those who are not racily inclined to witness the first interstate British Association football contest played on the Barrier.

7 July 1912, Sunday Times (Perth)

A footy game between East Fremantle and West Perth. The report contains an early use of the word 'soccer' as a verb meaning to kick the ball off the ground.

A shower during the interval made the ball more elusive than ever, and "soccer" was the only possible means of propelling it. Two free kicks, to Riley and Robinson, gave East a further lead of 12 points, each finding the opening. B. Jones managed a sixer for West, and Riley, marking close up, made no error at the other end. At the penultimate change the board showed : East 7.7, West 1.7.

There was little interest in the last quarter, and the old heads played the boundary at the slightest provocation. Trotter got a fluky goal off the ground in the twilight, and the game ended : -

East Fremantle, 8.8 (56pts.).

West Perth, 1.9 (21pts.).

The Idalia Rovers v. Railways match was perhaps one of the best played this season. The Rovers kicked off and play was fairly even for a. time, when Foley, for the Railways, took the ball down the left wing and had a splendid long shot, the ball just touching the bar and rebounding into play. The Rovers, however, were the first to score. Dunn being responsible for the goal. The Railways never lost heart, and after some good play, Morris scored, making each team one goal. The game then became very exciting. The Railways had the misfortune to be penalised inside the penalty area, and Dunn took the penalty kick, again being successful in placing the ball through the posts. The scores were unaltered at half time - Rovers 2 : Railways 1. In the next half the Railways had the best of the play and Whitson was successful in scoring twice. The Rovers were unable to add to their score, and had to be contented with their first defeat this season, the Railways winning by 3 foals to 2.
