Changed Subiaco Side Outclassed. fDue allowance being made for the mediocrity of Subiaco's display it Perth Oval on Saturday, East Perth played some really brilliant football in the process of gaining a substantial victory. The teams were:EAST PERTH.-Backs: M. Ryan, J. King, Smith. Half-backs: Thomas, Starr, Graham. Centres: Miller. Guhl, Hall. Half-forwards: Cronin, Lockyer, Broom. Forwards: Fogartv, Rowland, Mussman. Buck: B. Ryan, Garnaut, ,. Screaigh (rover). Lineteenth man, H. Smith. SUBIACO.?Backs: Gilbert, L Daily, Strack. Half-backs: Green, Bant, Davies. Centres: Warren, Smith, Donovan. Half-forwards: alurphy, M. Bessen, Peers. Forwards:*W. Testes, Merson, Hamnbleton. Ruck: S. Daily, McCallum, Stehn (rover). INineteenth man: Taylor. UMPIRE: G. Owens. Play had been in progress only two minutes when East Perth scored its first goal. Its forwards, well attended to by a fleet-footed and skilful centre line, the side ran to a 54-point lead at half-time.' Sublaco's disorganised defence could not cope with the ceaseless bombardment. Subiaco gave promise of an improved showing in the early stages of the last half but was unfortunate in striking Starr (defending) in an invincible mood; brilliant -eriae work and dashing clearances characterised his play. Hambleton and W. Yeates were striving hard in the interests of Subiaco while ant, who had subdued the high-flying Lockyer and L. Daily were again battling hard .against overwhelming odds. Maintaining their accuracy in. front of goal East Perth relentlessly piled up an unassailable lead, Subiaco finishing a bedraggled and wellbeaten side. The quarter scores were:E.
