The lack of ‘ weight and size make little difference to • the effectiveness of P. BL KininmontK

. the Albion sideI pow forward. • Against New r Brighton on : Saturday he tnade i frequent deter- ; mined bursts down the touchi line and ' upset I the New Brighton backs on* l occasions with hard harrying play. He has also

demonstrated very ably during the season, an excellent sense of anticipation in' backing up and cover defensive plays. * J. M. Le Uevre and B. R. Mann led many of the Marist rushes against Technical-Shirley. Ball under the arm and head down they often knocked defenders flying before being dragged down by a mass of forwards.

The young Merivale aide-row forward, B. Loveridge, was the [outstanding loose forward in the Merivale-Linwood game. His speed off the mark and the harrying tactics he employed upset B. Dailey and R. Stubbersfield repeatedly and his backingup and driving runs were of a very high order.

With a lot of foot-.

ball still in front of him, Loveridge’s fixture in the representative sphere is assured if he continues to improve upon his present excellent form.

E. Williams was not a success at centre against University. There was too much pace in the opposing three-quarters and Williams never looked happy on defence. * The Christchurch fiveeighths, D. Arnold, who played' his second senior game on Saturday, should be an asset to the club in the future. Arnold, who left Christchurch West High School two years ago, is a fine handler and his movements suggest .confidence in the ability he undoubtedly has.
