Allan , Mann, who was..the, star of the. half line and showed improved form over last season. ** Hoah.” Kingdon is-sure with his stick, but could use'- his ■ to \ greater advantage. Dug. Hastie should pay more attention to the opposing wing forward. Hall kept his position well. The Chamhers brothers combined well,, and . caused many anxious moments for Y;M.C.A. Armer was ordinary at first,but brightened considerably in the second half, Marcroft and Webber: at full played splendid games for Y.M.C.A. X Hally is a hustler, and shines with the reversed stick. Douglas in centre is an acquisition to the ~ team. He holds the line together well, ahd'his changing with Young was bad policy. Young and Beange played rattling games as insides. Wilf.
