If one were to take the last two performances of "the Club as a criterion of their normal form, one would be forced to acknowledge that they boast the most flattering league record of any team in the first divi- sion. By the same token, accepting the Recreio's dis- play in this match as a guide, one is bound to confess that their position in the table is an insult to the team.

The lasers were completely method- fess. The attacks central round the efforts of Howo and Dickford; the half hacks were not only ineffective in defence but showed no idea of constructive work. The defence was practically a one-man affair.

In contrast the Recrelu forwards played together with delightful under- Binding. Their movements brought the whole line into action, the ball being taken from the halfway line to the Club pennlly aren moving from! wing to wing; they were fast and ployed to a plan.

The Saints uprct all precon- ceived notions in this game, but their success, although a sur- prise, was well deserved. Snap shooting won the day, and Leonard crowned an afternoon of hard endeavour with two clever goals in the closing minutes which turned what appeared to be a winning lead for the Lincolns into a deficit.

The Sainis attack was undeniably more impressive than the Lincoln who excelled in mid-field play but fell away to nothing when in the posi- tion to culminate their work.
