manent team, which is to play the
teams from the other islands in the
coming inter-island matches.

There were not many special fea-
lures of the game worthy of mention.
Dole was little out of form and more
missing took place all around than was
the case in the game which was played
a week ago. Atkinson worked hard in
his new position as one In the second
team and exhibited some good horse

Judgment, however, in one or two OF
his plays. Potter was alive in his old
position but did not show up In as
good shape as he did in the game
against the Lawyers team week ago
Hancock gave promise of developing
into quick man at two, which is q
new position to him. He showed con-
siderable ability in getting into play
with much spirit.
Fleming had trouble with his mount

out from behind goals. DiCkey. who
