    On Saturday Liverpool and Everton engaged in a game that had many points of interest, the chief, from a monetary point of view, being the object, namely, the Footballers’ War Fund. A crowd of about 7,000 spectators saw a sparkling game, and considering the state of the ground the footwork was quite good, and the ball control was of nice standard. Liverpool won, although losing the toss and facing a strong sunshine, and goal were scored by Schofield and Bennett, smith putting a third through his own goal. Wadsworth was Everton’s best forward, the line suffering through Clennell breaking down, Cotter taking his place near half-time. Grenyer at forward did one good thing – he shot hard and true, and Connell saved cleverly. Liverpool played in all-round good fashion, and were without weakness, unless it were at centre and outside right. The Anfield left flank was once again the stringer, and the backs were rock-like.
