Owens, of 20th R.A., the right wing, gave a rousing display and on form should be a serious (Scots). contender for the right wing posi- tion. He was speedy and centred well and had the better of the opposing half throughout the game. True he had much space to move in, but the chances are that even had he been more close- ly marked he would have done well.

Fraser, of Royal Scots, played i his usual sound game at back. Never spectacular he spoiled many a dangerous movement and was elcan and sure in his tackling. He should be in the running for one of the back positions.
Freshwater, who came into the game in the second half, showed that he has now settled down to the back position and his speed and positional play, are his main qualifications for honours,
Shaw, at left-half, and Birrell, at right-half, showed that they were by no means inferior to any of the wing halves on view. Shaw used his head to advantage while Birrell was safe in his clearances. Left Wingers Unimpressive
Neither of the two left wingers impressed. Martin was slightly the better of the two but he was very poor in the first half and only im- proved towards the end of the game.
Gilroy played butter in the opening half, but does not seem to 'be able to centre. In the second half he was up against Freshwater and could make little headway.
