ourably with stars of other times,  

who have been mighty exponents  

of goal-kicking. His inclusion in  

the State team to journey north is

mented on. To-day he has sub-  

stantial lead in the individual score  

list, and his consistency bids fair  

to land him well over the century  

ere the season closes. An excel-  

lent forward, he combines plenty  

of dash with keen perception, and  

never lets up, as witness his bril-  

liant try after outdistancing his  

fellow forwards in brilliant fol-  

low on from long kick. Migrat-  

ing from South Sydney to the East-  

ern Suburbs few years ago, he  

has been decided acquisition to  

that district. His tally to date this  

season is 89, made up of tries  

and 37 goals—a truly great indi-  

vidual effort. In 1920 he scored  

tries and 53 goals—a total of 115.  

In 1921 he registered tries and  

43 goals—9s points, while in the  

following season he went one try  

better —4 —with 34 goals—Bo points.

to hear of his success against the  

Bananalanders.
