REVIEW OF Right Wing Combination And Wing Halves Are Still A Problem
Notes
INTERPORT
COLONY PROBABLES
THE FOLLOWING PLAYERS
have been nominated to represent the Colony's Probables against the
pm, on the Navy ground!:
Goal: V. M. Benwell (Club) and T. Lockhart (C.B.A.).
Backs: Datta Ram (Rajputana fifles).
V. C. Bond (C.1.A.) and Halves: G. W. Hook (B.A.). W. A Reed (Club), and N. 13. Whitley (C.B.A.).
IN AN INTERPORT TŘIAL held on the Club ajputana Rilles to-morrow at 5.15 ground, King's Park, last Sunday, Colours and White drow 2-2, after positional changes were made in both attacks after the interval. In the 'first half, the White who looked to be the Prob- ables, led by a goal scored by Partaub Singh. The Colours, however, gave their rivals quite as much as they received.
The display on the whole was moderately good, and if one took form in this trial as a guide, it would appear that the Selectors have still a problem to solve with the Colony right wing combination and wing halves.
Benwell, in goal for the Colours, got through a lot of useful work, and with the ex- ception of the only blunder he made, which resulted in a goal -the ball was cleared to an opponent instead of into touch
his display on the whole was superior to Souzu's. The latter, though sound in his clearances. was always slow to advance.
The Whites' bucks, V. Bond and Dalta Rom, formed a better com- bination to that of J, Gonsalves anyel H. J. Reed, though the last named gove a very sound exhibition.
There was little to choose between the halves, except that W. A. Reed,

Among the forwards, the Whites' beft wing combination of Narain and Partaub Singh was the highlight of both attacker: they showed plenty of dash and shooting power.

TRIAL
FRANK CRITICISMS
Placing Players In Unaccustomed Positions
I NOW DEAL, with a trial playing anomaly which, I fear, is becoming too common. I deplore the method of selectors placing players for important games in positions to which they are not accustomed.

In an important trial, surely, every player can only be judged when he is playing in his rightful position? He cannot do proper Justice to him- self when he knows he has no real aptitude or skill to a position in which he has never or seldom played. The Selectors would have done something worth while had they formed an intermediate line of W. A. Reed, Capt. Hook and R. J. Reed. A stronger or more
