to the non-appearance of to take several players selected part, the Army trial matches at Soo- kunpoo on Wednesday turned out to be something of a lasco. It was only possible to play one serious trial, the Initial effort being abandoned at half time, and in the second trial so many changes were made at half time that three turned out to be it actually halves'.

He did well enough in this game to show that even if he does not get a reserve in regular place in the Army side he will be a valuable asset as a case of injury to the first string backs.

He is somewhat inclined to hang on too long to the ball and should combat this as good moves are often spoiled by 'one man teams.'
