NEW DEFENSIVE SYSTEM

POSITIONAL PLAY ESSENTIAL

(By "Surucu")

If perfection in positional play for the purposes of defence could be attained something like a stale. mate would be set up and very All few goals would be scored. teams have, of course, a definite- system of marking, but errors, creep in and men are drawn out of their places with the result that shooting chances are created.

For many years It has been the plan for the wing half backs to mark the opposing inside forwards and the backs to cover the wing zen. It was undoubtedly the soundest system, but since the al- teration of the off-side law tactles have changed so vitally that the defensive side of the game is, I think, now open to amendment.

If the old covering system is to be maintained i am convinced that the centre half, who must always be the key man, should concentrate on defence.. I will go so far as to say that he must be a "stopper" to the extent that hu ought never to allow the opposing centre forward to run looac.

It is good to see a centre half go up with his forwards in sup- port of an attnek, but it is high- ly dangerous in event of the ball cuming back quickly, as is always llable.

SURREY TITLE TO MIISS GOURLAY

EXACTING ROUNDS

For the fifth time Miss Molly Gourlay is champion of Surrey, for at West Hill she bent Miss Pauline Doran, 2 up, in the hemifinal and Miss Jenn Hamilton by the same margin in the final. There have been daya when Miss Gourlay was straighter both from the toe and with long second shota when tho pin was not within range, but she fought with the experience which fastens on to any glimmering of good luck, played the chips par- against fectly, and so got home two excellent opponents, both of

A CALM COUPLE. Rugby might casily have gone to pieces after losing the fourth game, when Fulbrook with 7, six by service, and Pawle, with 6, four by service, romped away with the game at 15-2, and thus made the score 2 games all. The Rugby pair, however, are possibly the calmest the ruck there is a great futtering couple who have ever stepped into in the managerial dovecotes.

Boxers in the Navy do not have managers, and Rowles, turning a deaf ear to the tempters, is quite content at present to call the seas.

A determined man is Rowles. Onco ho forme an opinion it is dicalt to shift him from it-so much so that he has turned down an offer which would have recom- persed him, financially for the loss of several years' naval servico.

Lumb, the best second string that has appeared In this competition for a long time, was the hero of the match. He was always doing two men's work; but Gray was always effective in a quieter way.

In the afternoon, finely as Miss Gourlay played, honesty compels the admission that she Wad several times óxtremely lucky. | At the third, for example, her drive was soveroly hooked, and soared away towards the pretty new green of the arches, and the ominous railway embankment. Somehow it lay quite clear, and by holing six-yard putt she actually got a half-in 6. A hooked tee shot at the 6th was unpunished: and she was able to turn 1 up, out
