The supremacy of their intermedi- ate trio had much to do with the re-
suit of the match. Bright was an untiring worker, helping in the at- tack when the occasion demanded, and dropping back to the defence when pressed. In Freshwater und Thomas, he had two the wing halves I to give him the ald he wanted. It was indeed a refreshing sight to see the three in action, and throughout the game, they had the control over their opponents.
