notes

SCL confirms that Willie Paul played, although he doesn't appear in the OH. The most logical thing we can think to do is to place Willie in his regular #9 (as he was last week) and remove the OH's #9, namely Bob Robertson. SCL report says play was temporarily stopped near the end “through a display of temper” between Paul and Hodge and that it might have developed into “an exhibition of the manly art” had the police not appeared promptly.
