THE WORK OF Different Opinions In Different Teams: Scope For Individuality

(By "Rex")

HAVING GONE to great lengths to describe some of the finer points of half-back play, I' now propose to deal with the next set of workers, upon whose efforts and to whom, in a large mea. sure, the success of a team is dependent-the in- side forwards.

Of all the members of a football team the in- side forwards have the most interesting jobs; they move in the places which provide the greatest scope for individuality.

I do not mean to suggest that they can play as units. They must always adapt themselves as part and parcel of the general scheme. But the things they do or any rate, the things they can do-are pretty widespread, and game or the methods are influenced by the run of the adopted by his particular team. There is no rule of thumb about their play.

There is a lot of difference; between the play of the inside 'men in various teams, and ideas concerning the work of these subject to repeated changes. There is one point, however, concerning which there is general unanimity, and has seen little change throughout the

The idea of the inside unen being the "pendulum" members of a foot- ball team is a recent innovation, and is a fallacy that calls for argument.

DEBUT Spectacular Game Which Requires Large Ground

(By "Tinker")

AUSTRALIAN RULES, the League Football game from "down under”, made its debut in the Colony at Causeway Bay 'yesterday when two teams of Aus- tralian Naval Reservists op- posed each other on one of the Navy football grounds. It proved a spectacular game, but required. a much larger ground than was allotted, while a turfed surface would also have been of consider- able assistance. The hard baked clay upon which they did play could hardly be ex- pected to bring out the best: of a game that in many re- spects is like rugby.

Actually it seemed a combination! of rugby, basketball and soccer.

To

me it was a great improvement on rugby unicu football, and the same showed what an immense difference in speed there would be in rugby Union if scrums were disallowed.
