RANDOM JOTTINGS
Nomads opened their account through R. J. Reed in the first half, and though the scorer did well at inside- right, the forwards did not pull together and their chief weakness was in attack. A complete change took place in the second half when positional changes were made. R. J. Reed occupied his usual berth as pivot, H. Gubbay shifted to left-half and J. Franco was seen at inside-right,
IT was soon observed that the left thunk of attack with B.
Xavier and Peter Rull was more progressive than the right, Rull no doubt being the most effec-
tive forward on views.
