PLAYERS WHO HAVE

BEEN WATCHED

We have reached the interesting singe when the first steps have to be taken in building an England eleyon. There has been much more activity than usual among the etectors this season, I am glad to sy, and among the players who has been specially watched are Allen, the Portsmouth centre-half Maw, the Leicester City inside right: Milsom, the Bolton Wander-

It was a splendid achievement for Millwall, the more notable because game they wers twice during the behind, but each time they fought back.

Two players stood out in their side, Ranson and Hancock, though there Was no weakness in any department. Ranson accomplished the hat-trick. In each case, it is true, he owed something to defer- sive blunders by Southampton, but he snapped up these chances with the unerring accuracy of a class centre-forward.

HANCOCK A FINE PIVOT Hancock, the pivot, dominated the middle of the field. He kept a close watch on Drake, the dan gerous Southampton centre-forward, and cleared with judgment. MII- wall generally were well served at hall-back.

While we are con- stantly getting news from Shang- nai about the probables doing well, it is somewhat disappointing to see the cream of our batting talent in a procession to and from the pavilion. True, two or three of them had the misfortune to play on to their sticks, but that is all in the game, and if they had not been too anxious to be careful, it perhaps would not have happen-

I was somewhat sorry to see so many of the younger players failing, but as some of the more experienced ones went the same way too, one must not, I suppose. attach too much blame, to the griffins.

the first trial was held, and it is to be hoped that he will strike the form that won him a place in the Kent County eleven, because we must have some men who can make runs if we are to put up a
