The Rugbyleague  

News.  

VOL. 12—NO. 15  

(COPYRIGHT).  

SYDNEY, JULY 25, 1931.  

Price —Threepence.  

Big Guns Boom Next Saturday  

Wests and Easts the Pick of the Basket  

UNIVERSITY THE BOCEY MEN  

The great showing put up by St. George to be the first  

team to lower the tricolors this season, will have most stim-  

ulating effect on ail teams still having engagements with the  

leaders. Saints have shown that it can be done, and the round  

of matches for next Saturday has very piquant flavor.  

top of the stop-  

of Easts there  

is the added zest of  

University stepping  

on the gas to such  

good effect that Bal-  

main and Norths  

have not yet quite  

recovered from the  

shocks. To hit the  

winning spot is  

great incentive to better deeds, and  

as ’Varsity has jumped up level  

with Newtown in the last two  

games, with Souths, St. George  

and Norths battling for their very  

lives, the premiership race grows  

more and more interesting each  

Saturday.  

CAN EASTS POT “MAGPIES”  

AGAIN?  

Before coming to decision as  

to the winner of this classic next  

Saturday, most fans will be guided  

by to-day’s results, for each of  

these teams has to meet worthy  

opponents in Souths and ’Varsity,  

respectively. Both are sanguine  

of emerging victorious from these  

engagements so that they may en-  

ter th Sports Ground next week  

in their full glory before crowd  

that it is hoped will eclipse the  

20,513 that saw the first round fix-  

ture. Since the earlier meeting,  

which Easts won 25 (7 tries,  

goals) to 16 (4 tries, goals), many  

changes have been made in Wests’  

team through injuries, but the  

selectors are now enabled to put  

their full strengthen the field (with  

the exception of Frank McMillan.  

of course). This is severe han-  

dicap for the ‘"Magpies,” but with  

Alan Ridley now hitting his top,  

and Ken Sherwood and Cliff Pearce  

hammering hard in the centre, Jim  

White and Co. feel confident, now  

that Saints have led the way, of  

reversing the previous decision.  

There is no doubt that Easts are  

SHOCKED!  

In recent schools' match

of the opponents lost his pants.  

not such devasta-  

ting .machine just  

now as they were  

earlier in the season,  

but with such speed  

merchants as De-  

laney, Lynch,  

Brown, and Fred  

Tottey, hovering  

round eager to  

swoop down and  

turn defence into attack, the task  

set the men from the west is no  

easy one, and fans will have need  

for sore throat remedies before the  

final bell.  

ST. GEORGE AND NORTHS.  

At the time of writing Saints  

have two point lead of their oppo-  

nents of next Saturday, but there  

is still bit of feeling on the  

Shore that the result of the first  

game at Earl Park, when the locals  

won 21 to 7, was not true reflex  

of the respective merits of the  

teams, and as this next match  

will, no doubt, be played on the  

North Sydney Oval, the Shoremen  

confidently look upon it as an ex-  

cellent opportunity of balancing  

their budget, so far as notching  

couple of points at Saints’ expense  

is concerned, at any rate. Both  

teams have preponderance of  

young and ambitious players under  

able coaches in Tom Wright and  

Harry Kadwell, and as each en-  

courages the practice of throwing  

the ball about, the game should  

sparkle from end to end. Saints
