Should Win Matches
Should Win Matches.
The Second Senior team should win more matches than it loses from now on. Like the Senior Reserve team. It has been handicapped by a changing personnel, particularly in the forward line. Bryan, right-wing, is fast and experienced, and when in form. Renouf at center-forward has good ball control. Wallace, left-wing, attracted attention by speedy runs, last Saturday. The team should develop strength on defense. Olive's judgment in goal is seldom at fault. Walker and Sandford, the full-backs, combine well, and the halves, McIntosh. Good and Purdie, are sound, experienced players. For several seasons I. Purdie has been one of the most consistent and reliable half-backs in the club. His tackling and stopping are particularly effective. Whitham, a promising half-back last season is now playing in the forwards, where his excellent stick-work may prove of equal value.
