LAVALLE'S STRONG CLAIMS FOR INCLUSION MUST NOT BE OVERLOOKED

(By SCRUM-HALF")

D. H. STEWART, Club wing-threequarter, is unlikely to make the trip to Shanghai early next month, and H. D. Bidwell, centre-threequarter, must now be included on the doubtful list.

On Saturday Stewart was brought down heavily by Boe as the result of a brilliant tackle and injured his knee. Yesterday the knee had swollen to alarming proportions and to-day, though it has gone down considerably, it is still badly swollen. All indica- tions point to water on the knee, unable to play again until severaling: W. D. Pearson

Before making their final choice Club would be advised to give Lavalle an opportunity at practice to show his speed. All he may need is a few words of advice and encouragement.

Van Leeuwen has put on weight recently and is not as fast as he used to be, while he is invariably grassed in possession when in a position to make a pass to advantage.

PEARCE HAS PLAYED

One revolutionary suggestion would be to include Alec Pearce, the Club cricketer and former Club soccer player. He has played Rugby and was always a very promising three- quarter.

The following seven players were Invited to accompany the team but were unable to accept: Burford, Cas- tleton, Heasman, Richardson, Ken- nedy, Deane and Bompas.

Members of the team, as follows: Henderson; Stewart, Bidwell, Charter and Bosanquet; Cessford and Thom- son; Walkden, Salter, Wanklyn; Need- ham, B. Hynes; Godfrey, Taylor and -Redman; and Hutchison and Stout; are reminded of the official training -this evening at the Valley at 5.15 p.m.
