The Team.

Riley, E.: full-back. Plays a cool, safe game. Handles the ball well, and is a powerful and accurate kick.

O'Sullivan, D.: wing three-quarter. Has a fine turn of speed, and knows how to use it if he gets half a chance. A dangerous scoring man, but is apt to collar round the neck and indulge in "speculators."

Little, N. F.: centre three-quarter. No——good.

Lyes, J.: wing three-quarter. Plays a good safe game, but is somewhat lacking in dash for the position.

Kerr, H. W.: five-eighths. Speedy, and quick at finding an opening. Collars well, and is a good line-kick.

Chrisp, H. D.: five-eighths. Small, but nuggety. Always does the lion's share of the defensive work, and does it well. Has a knack of being where he is wanted, and of getting hold of the ball somehow when the opposing side look like getting away.

Bramwell, O. G.: half-back. Good on the defence, but perhaps does not get the ball away often enough. Goes down to rushes and collars well, but is rather small, and gets handled somewhat severely.

Stewart, E.: wing forward. Tough, and a hard grafter. Apt to get into the thick of it too much for a wing forward.

Meldrum, A. F.: front row. Good, particularly in the loose—when he likes.

Grigg, J. H.: A good worker, keen and always on the ball; but somewhat small.

Beard, T.: Captain of the team, and the main stay of the forwards. When he decides to push, something in front has to give way; but he requires a breathing space now and again in the territory of the five-eights. Has a mighty and accurate kick.

Adams, K.: second row. Always in the thick of it and working hard, but is rather light.

M'Kenna, F. G.: second row. Quick and dashing in the loose, and follows up well, but is also a light-weight.

Greville, R. H.: back row. Always keen and fit. Grafts hard in the scrums, and is in the forefront of rushes in the loose. A good kick.

Churchill, W. A.: back row. The best try-getter among the forwards. Has the knack of getting hold of the ball, and manages to come out with some brilliant dashes.

Adlam, R.: half-back. Plays a safe and plucky game, but is rather too light for the job.

Lyons, T.: forward. Good in the loose, but is also on the small side for a senior grade forward.
