Sheehan's place might possibly be to the filled by moving Freshwater right-back position and Hills going to left back, where he is equally at home,. with Garside one of the reserves com- ing into the half back line.
Whether the selection committee” will do this or not I am unable to say, but it seems the most logical answer at the moment. An alternative is to bring in P.S.M. Cooper of the Mid-- dlesex at back, but I think he is also. on the injured list.
The forward-line produces a tricky problem. There is no player normally playing at outside-right who has much of a claim to Emberson's position and it seems to me that Pearson will ap- pear there. He is extremely versatile · and although he has been playing at inside-right since his return to:foot- ball, he is equally at home in almost The all of the forward positions. biggest problem of all is the centre- forward berth vacated by Hossack. If Pearson is put outside-right it will be extremely hard to find a fit substitute for Hossack and the only one likely to do well I think is Fox of the Royal Engineers who has yet to be 'blooded" in a representative game. He is fast and packs a hot shot in both feet and I think if he is given the chance will do well.
It is a pity the originally selected side cannot be played, as they looked to me to be a combination more than capable of taking care of the Royal ̈ Navy side and it contained quite nice blending of new blood with old- and tried campaigners.

SEE some scribe, apparently an Artillery soccer supporter, does not quite agree with the Interport selec-- tions. Everyone of course is entitled to their own views, but it is obvious that the selection committee for these- sides take all things into considera- tion, and that when they select player they are satisfied that he is the " best available.

It has not been possible to hold in--- terport trials, but I think it will be found that the Interport side will be tried out against South China or some other first-class side on a couple of ̈ occasions before they are due to leave, and the F.A. have always the right to amend their selections as they think - ft. Personally, I do not agree with one or two of the selections, but it is no good kicking.
It has also been remarked that only - one Army trial was held this year. On the day in question I know the authorities had everything cut and - dried for two quite interesting games, but owing to the non-appearance of many of the players concerned the venture turned out to be a flasco. This“ sort of thing is only due to one reason and that is the players selected do not quite play the game. No player is too- good to turn out for a trial match even if he has held his place in the side for several sen
