At one period it really looked as If the play of one man, H. B. Toft, the Probable hooker, would make It no match at all' His side were in possession of the ball all the time. Teft, one recalled, had had to be transferred to the Possibles at Gosforth and the same adjust ment was in sight at Ipswich when a rather dreadful thing happened,
The rival hooker, W. O. Chad- wick, was injured and had to leave the field, thus depriving him of all chance to rehabilitate himself in the second half. which; as it proved, he might well have done. A spare man. C. G. Gilthorpe, of the Wasps, on the other. hand, was offered the opportunity that only comes to one understudy in a hundred.
Yet Macdonald won, for he scored a try. On the other wing, G. E. Hancock was not fast enough to hold Unwin. P. Cooke, for some time, had no chance at all to show his worth as a scrummage half, but when his opportunities did come he was quietly efficient.
The Probable pack heeled with monotonous regularity for most of the first half and they became 8 points up inside a quarter of an hour. A round of passing enabled Cranmer to offer Macdonald his great chance, and the latter dash- ed over the remaining dozen yardı as one knew he would.

It was a punt ahead by Cran- mer, which bounced high but still his was splendidly gathered in stride by Nicholson, that sent Un- win away for his first try. Unwin handed off Hancock and beat the rest of the defence by sheer dashe Cranmer converted this try into a goal.

Toft, as a matter of fact, never was out-hooked, but, for a while at any rate in the second half, his
umpanions were made to far from the ideal serummaging machine. Their tricly recovery towards the end was effective, but not completely convincing. in

And this leads one to a not un- fair reminder-It Was natural enough that the Probable pack, nearly all of whom had played re- peatedly together, should be more efficient than the entirely scratch eight opposed to them. Yet, as at Gosforth so at Ipswich, their 'ascendency was shown to be rather too dependant upon Toft's hook- ing unce the, Possible pack had settled down.
