Line 15:

He has told the Battalion there are vacancies for 250 recruits, and he says the men will simply tell their friends.
He says “Look at the Football!” our fellows have never been beaten. They have successively defeated The Carlisle Police, the Border Depot, Bigrigg, Carlisle United, and finally our Rugby Union Team has beaten Silloth....{{quote-right}} <ref>{{lowther|recno=8}}
