Scoring sequence (Japan's score shown first): 8min-drop goal Japan, Yagai (missed), 33min-try Japan, Kitano; conv. Hagiwara (missed)-3-0, Half-time, --min-pen British Columbia, Cameron (missed), 50min-drop goal British Columbia, Cameron (missed), 55min-try British Columbia, Weinman; conv. Niblo (missed)-3-3.
An unfortunate incident happened early in the game against the BC state team: Toba had to leave the ground due to a dislocated shoulder after a hard tackle he made. If Japan had kept playing with only 14 players, they could have suffered a crushing defeat. This game must have been important for Canada, as they were forced to sip the dismal dregs of defeat in every match so far. However, following Toba's exit from the game, Canada also withdrew the winger opposing Toba, and went on playing with 14 players. Coach Kayama noticed this, claimed that Canada should NOT show mercy in that way, and strongly requested their 15th player on the ground. However, Tillet (Chairman of the BC rugby union) insisted that he would do so only if Japan also brought on an additional player. The argument continued for a while but they failed to reach an agreement. In the end, Kayama relented and obeyed Tillet. As a consequence, Suzuki was brought on to the ground as the 15th player, but because this all happened totally unexpectedly, he didn't have his uniform or shoes with him. So Suzuki had to wear Toba's shoes, which were too large for him, and had a hard time until the end of the game.
In the first half of the match, Japan touched around the opponent's 25-yard line a few times, and finally gained possession in the 23rd minute. The ball was passed from Ogiwara to Matsubara, Fujii, then to the right-wing Kitano. Kitano ran fast and scored a try. Ogiwara missed the goal (Japan 3-0 Canada). Following the see-saw battle in the second half of the match, Canada's three quarter punted the ball in the 15th minute; Wright received it skilfully and made a dart. The ball was immediately passed to the forwards, Wennmen wriggled out and managed to try right under the posts. The match ended in a draw.
