Of the Rest there is no call for a great deal of comment.. In any care they were there to play the part of "feeder" to the principal performers Perhaps they were not so effective as one expected, but the truth is the Interporters were much too good Tor them.
They were very much slower both in thinking and operating the defence constantly being caught unawares. Elliott ruined the stinck with his worst display of the season. He was not helpeil by the Inalatent, and at times, rather too expressive of the spectatora.

Itagged play marked the Probables side, and the ball was constantly placed out of range of the player, or
the player was not where the ball was sent. The backs were perhaps the best and, assisted by a good half- line, did much to prevent the Possibles from having a monopoly of the play. Guest, Hassan and Reed were out- standing.
The first half was fairly fast, the Possibles showing their combination from the start. Play was even, and the change-over came with the Pol- siblea lending by two goals to one.
SECOND HALF
In the second half, the Probables a goal made a recovery and scared from a scramble round the goalmouth, levelling the scores. Within a minute the Probables were one up, and im- mediately after the restart placed an other in the net, Garwood making no attempt to save.
