Taylor The game in the first spell consisted principally of forward play; Croydon were a little superior in the line-outs, in spite of Hereworth’s biggei forwards, while the latter’s weight gave them an advantage in the scrums. Taylor (Herewortrh) was the most bril liant forward on the field, and should do well later Morrison was Croydon’s outstanding packman In the' early stages Croydon’s three-quartei line played well, but they fell off badly as the game advanced, taking most of their passes standing still. Swinburn and Tutaki were the most outstanding back . they being responsible for most of H i eworth’s scores. Dasant, at half, was safe and played well. In the first half Croydon made two determined attacks, but Hereworth’s better defence defeated them. The half-time bell went with Hereworth on the attack and before the ball went out of play Logan scored for Hereworth, Wilson converting. The score then was
