("Salient" received a somewhat verbose and unimaginative report on this club's prospect for Winter Tournament. Due to lack of space and consideration for readers this is abridged.)
Last week's easy win by 5-2 against one of the leading teams, namely, Hospital, has given new heart to the representative Soccer team. We have played this season somewhat under the shadow of Jonah, but feel now that we can write the following notes with a ring of confidence. Those latent powers have at last manifested themselves!
The rep. team, appears to be as follows: Pat Giles (goal—outstanding); Roy Dixon and B. Sutton-Smith (defence—solid); Colin Richardson (centre-half, captain); R. Spears and K. Johnson (halves); B. Rackie, J. Walls, Ted Simmonds, R. Edwards and Bruce Weir (forwards).
"Salient" is not and never will be a paper for social gossip. Sports club reports forwarded this year have brought us too near the margin of uninteresting and sectarian drivel. For this reason Tournament prospect writeups this issue have been considerably abridged. Material that is of interest only to the clubs themselves should not be forwarded for publication. Clubs will be given adequate space when their reports are impersonal and of general interest.
"We pulled it off last year... we feel that this year will be a matter of repetition."
