Luton Clarence, who gained such an unexpected victory over Southall on Saturday but still figure at the bottom of the League, were at Cricklewood Lane on Boxing Day where Hampstead Town, on a terribly muddy ground, won by nine goals to love. The team was as usual, except that Travers Day played instead of Briscoe at outside-right, and the change strengthened the side, as he not only scored two goals, but his well-judged centres brought others. The first two goals were obtained by HOWELL, who each time headed through from a beautiful centre by Day. DAY got the third, after wriggling himself into a favourable position for shooting; the fourth - the best of the batch - was put to the credit of WISE, who shot with force and judgement; and KIRBY got a fifth before half-time.

In the second half Clarence held their own rather better, but McCracken was seldom troubled. SEABROOKE, from a well-timed pass from Wise, scored Hampstead's sixth goal, and DAY got the next; and from corner kicks most accurately placed by Day, further goals were obtained by HOWELL and WISE.
