C.B.A. Ladies badly missed the services of Miss B. Parsons, in the full-back division, and as a result of the re-shuttling which took place of the before the commencement game, were badly flustered in de- fence, although the hair-back trio were good.

Mrs. G. A. White demonstrat- ed that she is still as danger- ous to-day at centre-forward as she was several years ago, al- though maybe not quite as fast. but her two goals were well merited. Curiously enough both St. Andrew's goals were scored by Miss P. Gittins, also a cen- tre-forward!

As I stressed before, School sadly lacked the services of a penetrative right-wing and with Miss P. Turn- buil, Miss McCaw and Miss Mona Shand held in the centre, they were unable to exectively break through the powerful "Y" intermediate line.

Badly Scared Schoolgirls were, however, seen in some bright approach movements, but were apparently badly scared by Miss Fowler's powerful tackling and clearances and made no further progress. The Schoolgirls were also weak at left-half, where Miss Wat- son proved no match for the 0. Burnett-B. Harker wing.
Miss Watson's inability to use her reserve-stick was a disadvantage and she should pay more attention to this department of her play in future.
