On
policy to play him in this respon sible position. An old injury is. always a dangerous one and might quite easily handicap the fifteen with crippling effect. Ferguson,
on the other hand, is in perfect condition and should have received a trial on Saturday either through- out the game or at least during one half of the match.
At full-back, Whitham stands supreme, although his display was far from impressive in the final trial. It is very important that a full-back should find touch even if he gain but a yard of ground. A long kick ahead puts the whole fteen off-side and allows the op position to stnut either a movement or find a good touch. His handling and tackling are both good, and if he is able to find touch with every attempt we should have no qualms in this direction.
Strength at Forward. Seven of the eight forwards select themselves and, with two men of equal ability fighting for their place, I think that the best possible pack will be chosen. I should prefer to ace Milne Day in the fint row and Buttress in the middle of the back row. Buttress seemed tired to- wards the close of the game and 1 feel that fa could quite probably | be attributed to that extra amount of exertion required to be one of the first men down in the tightperative that someone serummages, whereas if he played in the back row he would be one of the last players to get down in the scrum, He has played constantly and consistently well in the back row, and it seems a pity that a good
forward should waste

Deplorable Placed Kicking. After the game
on Saturday I asked myself who is the obvious placed kicker in the site. This I found a very difficult question to answer. Twenty-five points hardly justifles three different players taking shots at the goal. It is im- should be found for this important role. A rame can quite easily he won by the additional points a goal may bring or a penalty goal. Who then is to be entrusted with the kick, one player preferably for any angle. most power behind him is obviously He made one very good Whitham. effort from the touch line to try rnd add the points for More's try and it was only his direction which failed him. Turner is invariably cafe in front of goal, but he caused somo surprise when he missed a "aitter" in front of the uprights. Peera is a good kick if he can get the ball to rise. This leaves Whit- ham as the probable player. The selectors would be well advised to see that someone is appointed as early as possible and that he gets the necessary practice before Satur- day. Placed kicking at the mo~ ment is deplorable.

The Perfect Pass. *The passing of the three-quarters was not of a high standard and clearly proved that any advantage the centre three-quarters might have gained was completely lost owing to poor passing. A three- quarter must first learn to take a pass and then in turn to give д good pass, and a good deal dependa on the heighth of his pass. The perfect, pass should be waist high not above the head or below the knees.
A bad pass is dangerous, and if a player finds ho is in a difficult position he should hang on to the ball rather than try to find
his man with a faulty pass.
