Best Leader
Another player worthy of con- sideration is Pelham of Royal En- gineers. Of the three centre-for- wards tried yesterday he was by far the best. He showed more method in his movements when playing as an inside ward, also did well.

Weir, another newcomer, did well at inside-right and should be given another trial. He work- ed hard and showed good ball control.
Fraser, of Royal Scots, played his usual sound game at back. Never spectacular he spoiled many a dangerous movement and was clean 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, better 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.
