Among the new-flayers for Old East, Williams, a burly . follower from the

W. Ebbs and Mears, both of whom I are tall half-forwards from local

junior ranks, shaped promisingly

on several Occasions.

Briggs, a recruit from Cottesloe jun-iors, and Lambert, from Merredin As-sociation, played in defence and fre-quently relievèd iii good style, while Searle, who is fast and handles the, ball well, gives promise of developing into a useful rover.

For the redlegs Mason at half-for-ward and Moore, also at half-for-ward, showed that they have_ a good knowledge of the game, while J. Harbison, a tall follower and half-forward from Richmond in Victoria, displayed a rugged style with his punching out a feature of

ally bringing in a .number of re-

cruits.

handled the ball a lot, but was sad- ]

ly astray in his kicking. | Felman. playing on the wing, showed j up at. times, but found Seubert more |

than a handful.

ed in rugged style en severs! oc-

casion*.
