Criticism—Petone Game
Criticism—Petone Game.
Several times during the match Varsity turned on really good football, but poor tackling and backing up, always let Petone through when a Varsity movement broke down. Time and again Varsity had Petone well penned in, but when Petone broke through, they always took the ball the length of the field before being halted. The tackling on the whole was improved, but until the opposing five-eighths are bottled up. Varsity will not be able to keep the opposition's score down, and until the backs do some backing up they will not be able to notch many points themselves.
