“First Rugby Match and First Try”
 This year saw the first rugby match held in Japan. This match was held between Keio and YC&AC at Yokohama Park on December 7, ending in the victory of YC&AC with a final score of 41-5. The details are omitted here as the previous chapter relates how Kenjiro Shiota scored the first try in Japan. The Japan Gazette ran an article only about Clarke with the sentence “Clarke made an outstanding goal”, but had no mention of the try scored by Shiota.
