OTHER FOOTBALL
Tho I'oneke team aro still at tho bottom of the ladder, and although they will certainly climb some rungs, tliev will not bo half-wcy up at the end of the season. Irvine and Morris seem to bo their only dependable backs, nnd they are only good moderates. Dingle, who was at first thought to be a likely full-back, has power but no judgment or dash. The scrum Was improved by having Sotheran in the pack, and Gardner plays a baiter game on the wing than he does out with the backs. If thev traiu on, the Poneke forward pack will make other packs do tii-»ir best this vear yet.
