(By "Veritas)

After watching the Police score their fourth while being challenged by an East Lancashires" forward during yesterday's

victory of the season yesterday, one could not avoid speculating just how far they might go in the contest for premier league football honours. In itself their display against the Royal Artillery did not provide a particularly inspiring indica- tion. They won, and won comfortably, but it was at the expense of a team, whose efforts! would scarcely have done credit to a second or third division team.

Even so it is possible to form some assessment of the potentialities of this Police team, which, if nothing else, is one of the best combinations the Force has put into the field within recent years.

Chief assets can be summed up na follows; bustling tacties, spred Cand determination, foraging for- words, dogged half bucks, good defence with a weakness on the left,

In individual, competition she has also advanced to the first posi tion, Frederick John Perry being now undisputably the world's foremost player. Not since the days of Tilden in his prime have the two distinctions gone hand in hand. So far as present appear": ances go Great Britain's supre- macy will continue. No player equal to the task of dethroning Perry is seen upon the horizon, nor is any nation likely to win the Davis Cup so long as Perry and Austin retain their incomparablo form and skill.

It may be said that it is taking long chances to rely solely on two men, as Great Britain docs, with- out reserves of any kind. But there is nothing that can be done about save walt for another near-miracle to bring re-inforce- ments.
