Football Club

The annual meeting of the football Club will be held about the time of this publication of "Smad," and you will see the time and place of the meeting advertised on the Notice Board. The Committee is anxious that there should be a full attendance of members and intending members.

For the benefit of freshers it should be said that the Football Club is the foremost men's club of the College. We enter seven teams in the local competitions, from Senior down to Fourth Grade, so that you need not fear that you are too good or not good enough. It is the special policy of the Club to look after the lower teams, and our Fourth Grade sides in particular have played very good football in recent years.

We would make a special appeal for all 'Varsity men to play for their own club. Surely it is your duly to support your own institution, and if all Varsity students are loyal we shall have tip-top teams.

Our hopes are high for the coming season. .Most of the Senior A team will be out again, and there seems every chance that the team will be in the first division. Roy Diederich is getting fit already, and with Tubby Edwards and Jock Wells we should have a tine pack, while most of last year's back line will be back again. There will, however, be spare places for men who have shown their worth in Junior grades.

Training will begin very soon after the annual meeting, and selections will be made on the enthusiasm shown and the form displayed. Our own practice ground on the hill behind the College has been put into good condition by the City Council, and there is every opportunity for members to get into form and make this a good season.
