MIDDLESEX LOSE

In a friendly rugby match play- ed at the Valley yesterday even- ing, Club "A" defeated a weakened Middlesex XV by nine points to all. The losers missed the services of Lieut. Hewitt and Berry, the Army forwards.

Play was very scrappy and, al- though the forwards were evenly matched, the Club backs were much better than their opponents.

Thomson, making his first ap- pearance for the Club, played a very good game. Although he is slightly smaller than Henderson, he is very fast and his service to Cessford from the base of the

scrum was really excellent.

Godfrey, who plays wing for~ ward for the Club senior XV. turned out at centre and he gave a good all-round display being very difficult to tackle, For the Middlesex, Jones and Burrell played well the former giving a sound display at scrum-

DRAKE IN FORM " Drake was in fine form and in Cooper and Sheehan he had a sound pair of backs in front of him. Middlesex appear to have solved their problem of the com- position of the forward line. This was made easier by the return of Pearson, who had been suffering from an injury.

Tait led the attack well and, with Pearson and Saw, formed an admirable iriside trio but Marable was a trifle weak on the right.
