Freakes's task will be to build up an entirely new three-quarter line, assuming that he himself reverts to his old position at full-back, to And a serum partner to 1. II. Watts; and to discover Ave forwards to support Marshall, D. G. Coles and H. H. Pennington, the old three of last year's pack which remain.

It will be recalled that last season Frenkes moved up into the three- quarter line and F. M. M. Forster played at full-back. The latter is at available, but his inclusion seems to depend upon his captain's

the decision. Among

best-known seniors are J. H. Bevan (full-back), G. M. Hector, F. B, Brandt, T. J. Cowm, R. Luyt, H. R. C. Percy, and L. E. McLean (three-quarter), M. McDowall, E. K. Scott,

Freshmen who are likely to do well include J. F. Lockwood, E. J. H, Williams, G. A. Hollis and D. M. Strathie (three-quarters), M. Davis (half-back) and D, E, Davies an exceptionally strong forward.-- Our Own Correspondent,

Football Champions Lose By Late Goal To Brentford Team

By Frank Coles Brentford..... 1 Arsenal

London, Sept. 8.

Just when we had all agreed that a goalless draw would be a fair re- sult at Grima Park, McAloon snap ped up a chance, two minutes from ume, and Brentford claimed the dis unction of being the first team to lower the colours of the Leogua champions. Incidentally, they have never lost to Arsenal in a League match...

.

Good for Brentford; but I must say that Arsenal, in spite of glaring ling that weaknesses in a forward sometimes looked

disjointed, very were unlucky losers. They made more scoring chances than Brentford and two Drake headers early in the second half-one crushed against the crossbar with Crozier completely beaten-would have found the net nine times out of 10.
