Fix this textWESTS WIN LAST ROUND UP
Fix this textPREMIERSHIP FINAL A THRILLER
Fix this text25,174 Spectators See Brilliant Game
Fix this textWestern Suburbs, with fifteen victories in seventeen
Fix this textengagements, proved its undoubted superiority over all-
Fix this textcomers last Saturday when Eastern Suburbs were beaten fbr
Fix this textthe third time this season, thus leaving the;, way open for
Fix this textWestern Suburbs to win its way to the second premiership
Fix this textgained by the club.
Fix this textfjpHE record of the
Fix this textfirst grade team is
Fix this texta fine one, and the
Fix this textfinal result left no
Fix this textdoubt about the
Fix this textability of the players
Fix this textas a combination for
Fix this textthe main avenue of
Fix this textthe successful season
Fix this texthas been traversed
Fix this textby superb team work,
Fix this textic which the honors are equally
Fix this textshared by both backs and forwards.
Fix this textThe greatest calamity that has be-
Fix this textfallen the club is the announced
Fix this textretirement of the captain, Frank
Fix this textMcMillan, who has exercised such
Fix this textwonderful power to impart his
Fix this textknowledge and spirit to his team
Fix this textmates and imbue them with the will
Fix this textto win. Such men as the Australian
Fix this textskipper are rare, and his retirement
Fix this textwill leave a deep gap in Australian
Fix this textRugby.
Fix this textThe final match made history in
Fix this textthat the committee of the Rugby
Fix this textLeague saw fit, after a hurried con-
Fix this textference on Saturday, September Ist,
Fix this textafter a week’s terrific rain, to post-
Fix this textpone the fixture till the following
Fix this textSaturday, the contention being that
Fix this textmany thousands would be prevented
Fix this textfrom going owing to the awful
Fix this textweather conditions and the water-
Fix this textlogged condition of the ground.
Fix this textSuch teams as Eastern and West-
Fix this textern Suburbs are always assured of
Fix this texta big following, and to have such
Fix this textstars floundering about like Kip-
Fix this textling’s “muddied oafs” before a few
Fix this textthousands would have been a huge
Fix this textmistake, and the Rugby League is
Fix this textto be commended on its action.
Fix this textWhat brilliant displays the teams
Fix this textare capable of under ideal conditions
Fix this textwas demonstrated in the final match,
Fix this textthe sparkling dashes of Thicknesse,
Fix this textNorman, Brown and Beaton being
Fix this textMR. H. R. MILLER,
Fix this textSec. N.S.W. Rugby Football League.
Fix this textmet by equally bril-
Fix this textliant bursts by Mead,
Fix this textHey, Brady, Tancred
Fix this textand Ridley, the latter
Fix this textgiving one of the
Fix this textfinest showings of his
Fix this textcareer.
Fix this textPossession from the
Fix this textscrums was evenly
Fix this textdivided by Bob. Lind-
Fix this textfleld and Tom Mc-
Fix this textLachlan, the rival hookers, so that
Fix this texteach side had equal opportunities
Fix this textof attack, and the different methods
Fix this textof each side were closely watched,
Fix this textand the huge crowd were kept in a
Fix this textconstant fever of excitement, from
Fix this textthe moment that Les. Mead opened
Fix this textWests’ account with a penalty goal,
Fix this textuntil Andy Norval scored Easts'
Fix this textsecond try for Jack Beaton to con-
Fix this textvert just as the timekeepers’ bell
Fix this textrang out finis.
Fix this textThe teams could not have been
Fix this textmore closely matched, and the game
Fix this textwas quite as sparkling and colorful
Fix this textas anything that the Rugby League
Fix this texthas served up in the past, and there
Fix this textneed be no misgivings about the
Fix this textfuture of the game in Australia
Fix this textwhile such brilliant exponents are
Fix this textcoming along.
Fix this textWests were a trifle more vimful
Fix this textand better organised in defence than
Fix this textEasts, and that was the deciding
Fix this textfactor in a great game, for the tri-
Fix this textcolors were ever dangerous with
Fix this textthrusts that spelt disaster should
Fix this textany weak spot be discovered in the
Fix this textblack and white wall.
Fix this textThe game will live In memory for all
Fix this texttime, and Wests’ players deserve all the
Fix this textcredit that is being showered upon them,
Fix this textand the result of the match has settled
Fix this textthose confirmed croakers who “knew” all
Fix this textabout Easts going to win to ensure another
Fix this textmatch, at least for another season.
Fix this textWests met Easts four times this season
Fix this textand won three times, the scores in the first
Fix this textand final matches being the same—ls to
Fix this text12—each time.
