What they Said
"The Small Heath crowd were wild with excitement at this good fortune."
ASTON VILLA v. SMALL HEATH.
A DRAWN GAME.
These local rivals met in their second League engagement on Saturday, at Small Heath, before 12,000 spectators.
The Villa were compelled again to make changes their team. Devey having scalded his foot, was replaced in by centre Gordon, and Reynolds, who was suffering from a cold, gave way to Burton at half-back.
There was no alteration in the Small Heath combination.
Small Heath kicked off and at once set to work, Hallam, Walton and Mobley being conspicuous in the attack, and the last named on two occasion put the ball into Dunning’s hands.
The Villa left wing got away. Hodgetts and Woolley clearing all obstacles, made an advance down the field, Jenkyns fell, and Gordon put in a lightning shot, which Partridge could not stop.
A few moments later Athersmith headed into goal. Villa at this time were having the best of the exchange.
Just before the interval Russell charged Hallam foully, and the referee awarded a penalty, which Wheldon landed into the net.
Play opened very fast after the interval, and at length Small Heath began to press, and forced the game into the villa quarters, and, after a desperate effort, gained the lead by Hallam putting through.
The Small Heath crowd were wild with excitement at this good fortune, but almost immediately after the Villa forwards lined up, and Hodgetts equalised. Nothing more being scored, the game ended in a draw—two goals each.
