Open and Closed football teams travelled a long way from myth to reality. The myth was entertaining, but the fact is a more solid achievement. This afternoon, players from seven Houses and Dudley will grapple in the Stadium before an audience which did not have to buy tickets.

Both the H.A.A. and William J. Bingham deserve credit for making this contest possible. Before the game, the promoters of Closed and Open will present Mr. Bingham a cup in gratitude for his services. Now is the time to show that you like good, amateur football, even if it doesn't have glamour or technical perfection.
