The quest for players is to-day a highly organised part of the AWAY TEAMS

game. These scouts work in secret, sometimes even adopting strange disguises, for not always are they welcomed if it is known that they have come to entice a player from his club. Occasion- ally they have had to run to escape a ducking in the village pond- Wherever I go I meet them; but it is an unwritten law that they may not be asked where they are bound. They are under secret orders from the clubs they represent, and the frankest form of deception is part of their job.

i

Managers, old players. and school-masters predominate among those who take part in this unusual occupation, the prime qualification for which is ability to spot talent in the rough.

Potter's Great Game. Potter and Sommer were the best combination in the field, the formers neat interceptions and last minute clearances playing a large part in producing a goalles first half, although the Cimb for- wards were given just as many opportunities at the other end of the field:

The Navy defence played a-hard bustling game, Ower being very safe between the sticks, while Broome and Gush were two steady backs in front of him.

Davies worked very hard in the Navy's pivot position, and bad Woodhouse held throughout, while McCoy was very much in the lime- light with his excellent distribu- tion to his winger, Banks.

Revelation In Speed

Laine, on the right-wing, was a revelation in speed and accuracy in centring. In fact he was much; Hoo test for his own forwards sundi, often sent the ball brilliantly across with no one up to
