"Unofficial and incorrect," was how Dr. H. G. Owen-Smith, Western Province and Springbok cricketer, des- cribed the report that he had been sounded as to his readiness to cap- tain South Africa in the forthcoming series of Tests between South Africa and the M.C.C. "Even if that were the case," he added, "I would not be in a position to accept the captaincy." Principal reason would be his inability to obtain leave from medical work.

Promising moves between Lawton and Stevenson for Ever- ton were checked by Young and Mountford. Beasley was the danger point for Huddersfield. Hinchliffe shot late, his effort be- ing blocked by Cook. Hudders- field's long shots were harassing, but neither side had scored when the interval arrived.

Two goals up within six minutes of the resumption Huddersfield began to fight still more keenly. In each case Brown fed Hinchliffe, who scored both goals. Everton counter, attack- ed, but Stevenson and Benthan shot just outside.

Later, Lawton, Bentham, and Jones all tried hard for that elu sive Everton goal, which never came, and so the visitors had to admit their first defeat of the season and lose the 100 per cent. record which they were the last club in any League to hold.. Isaac scored Huddersfield's third goal four minutes, before the end.
