As an exhibition of skilful football,it never
reached a really high level but the intensity
of it carried through to the end, made up
for every other defect. Elder had com
mand of the game and kept command from

and he exercised it wisely.There have been
more people at a league final than on Satur-
day but the gate is the best they have even

Baring and Cameron were again Essen-

arms right over on the wing.He was
just equal to it; the ball squeezed through
the narrow opening and again Gilleapie's
intercepting arms were just a moment too
late.Next came two goals with quite a
rattle for this game where goals were so
hard to win. The ball went like an arrow
to Essendon's end.Two of their backs
overshot it in an impetuous rush. Moran
got it with a clear goal and acored Carl-
ton's second without opposition.Cheeresd
on by a big section of the crowed the
Essendon fellows responded with a charge
equally determined and at the end of it.
Kirby snapped the ball trough for the
fifth time.Taking all the risks,Wilson
of Carlton, streamed through a crush of
opponente a magnificent dash which
achieved everything but the goal.The
fighting Blues kept up the pressure gal-
lantly and were rewarded in a third goal
