Senior Reserver II
Last Saturday's game against Wesley resulted in another win for 'Varsity, 4-1. The game was, however, robbed of its pleasure by the "rough-house" tactics adopted by Wesley. Ives played an improved game at right wing and Eric Brasted was again sound at centre-forward, each scoring one goal. Spiers at inside right played a dashing game and scored two goals by fast following in. The forwards generally lacked cohesion on the day. Wallis, on his game, is quite good, but should restrain his tendency to off-side play.
Dr. Campbell was a tireless worker in the halves, while A. long was a tower of strength. Till was somewhat erratic and had a tendency to hit wildly—unusual with him. Allan made some good saves in goal but could use his stick more. Tahiwi and Kirkham were reliable fullbacks and were seldom caught out of position. If Tahiwi were fitter he would not disgrace the senior team.
