Club's Best Team
Club's leam is just to hand and is as follows: Henderson; Stewart, Hutchi- son, Bidwell and Bosanquet; Charter and Thomson; Walkden, Castleton, Heasman: Bompas, Needham; Deane, Taylor and Godfrey."
Reserves: Thompson (full-back), Carruthers (three-quarter), Wanklyn, Kennedy and Richardson (forwards). All the above are requested to turn out for practice at 5.30 p.m. to-morrow on the Club ground.
Club are again playing Henderson at full-back in order to give Jimmie Thomson a place at scrum-half, as they ̈ did in their. first match against Army, and the move should further streng- then the side. With Alec Taylor back in the side Walkden, the captain, has. gone back to the front row to the ex¬· clusion of Wanklyn, while Deane has deservedly secured a place as wing- forward, replacing Kennedy, the Shanghai Interport captain. Heasman, promoted for the game against Navy.. has retained his place in the front row. All in all, Club are probably fielding their strongest possible fifteen,
and they must start the match firm favour- Ites.
