Next Thursday the Ladies' senior Rest team will meet the junior Rest XI in a final practice match before they meet the Central British Association Ladies and the Central British Schoolgirls, respectively, on Sunday morning.

I would, however. have preferred either Miss Helbling or Miss Pope to Miss Xaviet at centre-half and I ́am still convinced that Miss J. Dalziel would make as good an inside forward as Mrs. Read, despite the latter's
