Papps Promising

Papps Promising.

Week by week Papps shows football talent and belles the charge that he is too slow. From Judicious play he has scored a number of tries this season.

In the forwards Smith gave a good exhibition, toiling hard in both tight and loose. [unclear: Gundar], promoted from the Junior B team, played very well in the loose, being fast off the scrum, often with the ball at toe. He will make a good forward If his head goes down more into the tight play. Of the rest of the pack, Corkill and Webb were to be seen at the head of some of the rushes: but, generally speaking, the pack did not play well together.

When the casualties have recovered, the team will be a strong attacking force. In the backs there is plenty of speed and determination if they are fed quickly, and the forwards arc fast, capable and weighty.
