Others are; Fogarty, a forward with a great reputation; and Moffitt. wlio played right through the whole series of Army matches in Britain, South Africa and on the Continent. Tho box plan is filling rapidly, and tbo sale of tickets which can bo, obtained at most business places in town, are entirely satisfactory.
