If perfection in positional play for the purposes of defence could The attained something like a stale. maté would be set up and very All few gouls would be scored. teams have, of course, a definite system of marking, but errors treep in and men are drawn out of their places with the result that shooting chances are created.
For many years it has been the plan for the wing half uncks to mark the opposing inside forwards and the hacks to cover the wing nien. 11 Wild undoubtedly the soundest system, but since the at- teration of the off-side law inetles have changed so vitally that the defensive side of the game in, 1 think, now open to amendment.
If the old covering system is to be maintained I am convinced that the centre half, who must always be the key mas, should concentrate on defence. I will go so far as to any that he must be a "stopper" to the extent that he ought never to allow the opposing centre forward to run lanse.
It is good to see a centre half go up with his forwards in sup- port of an attack, but It is high-1 ly dangerous in event of the bull coming back quickly, as is always liable.

For the fifth time Mos Molly Gourlay is champion of Surrey, for at West Hill she bent Miss Pauline Doran, 2 up, in the semi-final and Misa Jean Hamilton by the same margin in the fan. There have been days when Miss Gourlay was straighter both from the tee and with long secund shots when the pin was not within range, but she fought with the experience which fastens on to any glimmering of Kood luck, played the chips per- fectly, and so got home against two excellent opponents, both of
