Ellis The Hero Of England Rugby Trial

Possibles Again Surprise

Selectors: Guest's Splendid Running

London, Dec. 19.

19.

The second England trial match gave spectators their fill of scoring on the pleasant Bridgwater ground, for the Possibles again beat the Probables by two goals and three trics to a penalty goal and four tries.

I doubt whether this improbable | run riot is no sign of grace in a result worried the selectors unduly, scrum-half, and we may well wonder though the general run of play must what had happened to the back-row have complicated their week-end de- watch dogs who should have sup- ilberations. Perhaps they felt like pressed him. The selectora will find throwing 30 odd names into theit difleult to leave him out of the chairman's hat, and relying on the final trial, for all that, even if J.

He went dancing through the Pro- bables' defence to such purpose in the first half that he had to restore the balance by changing places with Campbell at the interval.

He then proceeded to monopolise, the ball to such an extent that we were quite prepared to see him put himself into the serummage with it, be heeled out, pass to Kemp as he emerged, and finally appear alongside Obolensky to make the over-lap and score on his own.
