TRAMWAYS LOSE A POINT TO GLEN INNES.

Tlie neck-and-neck scoring in the match | between Glen Innos and Tramways on Blandford Park kept tf lively interest, in the game from start to finish. rla >" I™, "!." out was very evenly distributed and tlieie was little between the teams. Glen Innes were certainly handicapped by the injury to Clark, their inside left, in tiie first spell, and in view of this they did well to keep abreast of their opponents in the Mattel of scoring. Trams played a more cohesiy. rame than tlie Innes did, but the forwards were not nearly so deadly as they have been of late McMillan was probably the best of the live and Ills elusive movements and tricky footwork were pretty to watch, in the defence there were no outstanding members, but all played with understanding. Ross was brought in at right back owing to the injury to Tinkler. Jones was absent owing to injury, Spong taking his place. ' Koss was. inclined to get too much into the half-back line, wlucli is his usual position, but his colleagues generally eovered up this fault. . Glen' Innes were weaker than usual in defence. Warren was surprisingly insecure, while B.' Stone did not show any marked improvement frftm his tour to Australia. His brother, at back, was much more reliable. Gay and Flashman were tlie pick of the defence on the day and did much breaking up, also sending useful passes to the forwards.' The. attack was vigorously led bv K. Welch, and Clark was playing well to the time of His injury. His mishap should be an eloquent warning to playeis who resort to the jumping or sliding tackle, for that'was how he was hurt.
