25 played on either side, but the combination of the two suburban teams featured a number of youngsters and they were beaten comfortably.
One of the Prahran players suffered a broken collarbone during the match, and for the first time newspapers began to call for alterations to the rules to make the matches less brutal. Tom Wills sent a letter to Bell's Life denying he was at fault for the injury.
