Davidson Is ou the other side, und Woolley as centre hns beeu playing brilliantly In tills position for Crufmii ever since hi- tiime nver from (ircmiuar Did Boys. He was a Huffby rep. last year. (.'. IJrey, first flve-eighth, played for the "'Digger' team, and his ffnme brought him a reputation that still holds. ■McClyniont is his partner. Half-backs fJhent. Walsh.
