There is little doubt that had Sehonnu turned out sooner in the season he would have been picked for the representative team.

the sport at Seddon Park on Saturday, both Schonau (Rovers) and Sterling (Starr Town) saving in brililant style. Schonau outshone his vis-a-vis, and, as previously stated, he will be hard to keep out of the next representative team. Rovers’ Forward Line. Rovers’ forward line were more impressive than hitherto and some of their attacking movements were first class. Collins and both showed up and tiie latter should do well in the representative team. Kennedy played quite well, but was inclined to get off- | side. R. Bate Absent. Starr Town doubtless missed the services of their representative forward, R. Bate, who was unable to play last Saturday. As this player has been conspicuous for very line football in tiie matches to date the effect of his absence is not hard to appreciate.
