EVERTON
EASY WIN.
There was a good crowd at Goodison park last night to see Everton defeat Liverpool
by 3 goals to nil in the semi-final of the Liverpool Senior Cup. Everton, the holders were
the superior side throughout and gave the impression that they could have won whenever
they liked. Their half backs were much too strong for the weak Liverpool forwards, who
never looked capable of scoring although they hit the woodwork on more than one occasion.
The Everton vanguard were speedy, clever in control, and Forbes's early goal was of the
unstoppable type. Miller obtained the second goal, and Harrison's goal was the outcome of
bad luck on the part of Lilley, and even if Wilkinson had essayed to advance to meet the
winger it is very questionable whether he would have won the race for possession. The
Everton halves, were the cause of the victory. They piled their fast moving forwards with
the right passes, and Forbes was in one of the merriest moods. Parry has given glimpses of
his fleetness, but even his own colleagues were surprised when he gave an opponent three
yards start and overhauled him to make a fine centre. Harrison sent across centres after
centre of the correct order, but Lucas and Lilley put up a bold front, and with Wilkinson
kept the score down to three. Liverpool were slower on the ball, and the only forwards who
showed promise of scoring were Lewis and Walsh. Wadsworth had a great chance after he had
worked the ball fully the length of the field. Davies the Liverpool centre-half again gave
a promising display, and Bamber was the best half. Everton now meet the winners of the
Tranmere –New Brighton replay. Everton: - Harland, goal, Caddick, and Livingstone backs,
Brown, Reid, and Grenyer, half-backs, Parry, Miller, Williams, Forbes, and Harrison
forwards.
