The Thirds are to be congratulated on their first win of the season. At times the positional paly reached a good standard and if the players would only realise how essential this is the team should steadily improve.

J. Lewin, in his second game, showed he has a good eye and is now palying in goal. If one of the 4th grade players would emulate Lewin's example the defence of that team would be considerably stregtherned, Dowars and Johanneson played well at full-back. However, they were incliaed to play square instead of one being slightly in front of the other when awaiting an attack. Johannesson has previously played in the forward line, but seems to have found his [unclear: "nsche"] in a full-back position.

Brasted and Till for first year palyers are doing well. The former needs to avoid moving too far into the centre. All, on the other band, should not get drawn away from there. O'Donnell, who has palyed two-games in the half line has now a better idea of the game and it will not be long before he settles down in a position where keenness and fitness are essential.

Theforwards maintained their positions in a far better manner than previously. They fell back when their side was defending and went up on attack in line, with the halves supporting them, thus obviating any long gaps between the different lines. Black will have to avoid crowding in on Wallis and if he moves back to his correct position immediately he has passed. As the two wings, Bowyer and Osborne, kept well out it was and thus initlate some excellent attacks. Treadwell played his first game in the forward line and should develop on the right lines if he remembers not to drop back in his old half position. Wallis at centre-forward led the forwards but should not walt quite so far upfield.
