UPHILL PLAY

by BEST BALL

When the ball is lying on slope, Le.. a hanging lie, and the aim is to play it uphill, employ an open stance with the ball nearer the left foot. Many players find a position with the ball dif the left heel best for such a shot. This gives the clubhead a chance to gain full momentum and still contact the ball with the clubface in the best position to raise the sphere into the air.

If the ball is further back to- ward the right foot, the ball win rise so abruptly into the air and with so much less velocity that the distante it will actually cover is reduced. The open stance, by -- its formation will keep the player hitting through the ball despite the pull of gravity tending to re- strict the shot. The left hip being well out of the path of the club, there is no danger of the hands being stopped by the body at the impact stage. The path ahead is clear if the player will only retain his balance.

Reynolds, the goalkeeper, is a re cent arrival and played for Don- caster Rovers before joining the Army. His performances for "the Ordnance since arriving here have stamped him as a keeper of no mean standard. He is now playing" for". St. Joseph's and should prove a valuable acquistion.

Sheehan, of little more can be said of this splendid player. Not only has he covered himself with "glory in his own unit games but he has produced his best in all representa- tive games played in, despite the fact he has not been in the best of health recently.

Bright is another splendi and a tireless worker for the full period of the game. He relies: mainly on constructive methods in support of his forwards, and is-al- ways in the thick of things in de- fence.

Shaw, as tentre-half, is an unas- kuming player who always uses his to brains. He distributes the ball advantage on all occagions and is a decided acquisition with his height In defence.

Guy is a young player who should go far as footballer. He is of the rugged type, but he nevertheless: works hard throughout the game.. He recently acquitted himself splen-- didly in Shanghai.

Owan, Very little has been men-- toned of this diminutive winger. Small in stature, he is very speedy. and his centring is almost perfect. He has all the capability and quali- ties of a winger.

Nichols is another player who re- cently arrived in the Colony -with' 'a good reputation. Up to the pre- sent he has had very little oppor- tunity to produce his best. He plays the Scottish type of football," which is a decided asset when playing on hard grounds, and he should prove a good partner to Owens.

Fox, the Sappers' speedy centre- forward, possesses a shot in either foot. Given the right type of passes he will always produce the desired results..

Atkins is a marksman of 'no mean ability as results during the present season prove, An unknown player In representative games, he should be given a trial.
