VIEWS OF MR. MCELDERRY.

A fast and even game should be seen on the Navy "A" ground between the Tamer and Durban - Both sides are field ing new men, the Tamar having three in their front line. Brazendale, who left by the Vindictive, this weck, will be badly missed on, the Tamar's left wing. Hand- ford who played for the depot ship last tenson is back again and is turning out in the attack to-day. The Durban have a dashing set of forwards and in mid- week gave the Ambrose a fast game and kept them out until just on time when the Ambrose scored from a penalty. A draw to-day is expected. Daň
