(By ROY THD:\IAS).A bad fault noticeable in the last couple

ST. GEORGE CLUB NOTES

(B~' JUNE WILLlAl\'IS).

The Tigers again featured in a ~iUingfinish at Henson Park last Sunday, when,after' an exciting last quarter, they wentdown to Eastern Suburbs by seven points.Mter playing a scoreless first quarter,St. George did not rMke full use of theiropportunities in -the second tenn andcould only record 4 goals from 13 scoringshots. They did not score again in thethird term, but the pressure was on inthe last quarter as the Tigefs' crept towithin one point of East.5' score. However,Easts clinched the issue by marking as thebell rang and scoring a final goal.Easts showed more accuracy in front

of the goalposts, as witness their finalscore of 9 goals 8 behinds as comparedwith 7 goals 13 behinds by the Tigers.Fred Hicks was outstanding in the ruck

and marked very' well, as did Pat McGraneand Alan Barclay. Dick Wilson rovedexcellently and Ron Elliott played a con-sistently good game on the wing.The Club extends to Jack Frost.its sin,,:

Tigers will. be in Newcastle to play amatch to-day' (Saturday).

One of the most consistent ReserveGrade players is Harry Stratton, who isa memb€r of the Sydney Club. He hasshown fine form during the season andshould soon win .his way as a permanentplayer with Sydney's First Grade side andprove himself.a decided asset.

* * *Probably the most 'enthusiastic amongall the women followers of the NationalCode in Sydney are Mrs. Gertrude Fair-bairn and Miss Val Fairbairn; both theseyoun? ladies are ardent Newtown sup-porters, however, are always in attend-ance at other games when their oWnteamis not playing.

* * *Included in the Western Australian(earn to play Victoria at the end of this'llonth are thre.e players well known toSydney followers. They are R. Tucker,T. Moriarty and J. Sheedy.

* * *. Terry Moriarty, who won the Sa1J.doverMedal for the "best and..fairest" in theWest during the war, Illayed with SouthSydney whilst in the army and was out-standing at--ceht~ehalf-back for the Redand Greens.

* '. * *Jack Sheedy, who was'a memb€r of the'\V.A. Carnival side last year in' Hobart,was a star with Sydney Club in the waryears in his capacity as a rover.

*' * *Of the Victorian team which played

against New South Wales last month,only four of them have been chosen totour Western Australia and South Aus-tralia. They are Bob McLure (Essendon),Colin McLean (Melbourne), L. Turner(Geelong), Norm Johnstone (Fitzroy) and

Wally Culpitt (Hawthorn). Jack Graham,of South Melbourne Club, is captain,while a very well known personality toSydney followers, Bill Morris,' formerSouth Sydney ruckman, is also a memb€rof t.he side.'

* * .*Spectators were treated to a' thrilling

display of the National Code at Canb€rralast Sunday, when Canberra Colts de-feated South Sydney by 4 points. A fea-ture of the game.--;'as the magnificentthird quarter display by the home sidewhen they added 8 goals 4 ):Jehindsto 1goal 1 behind and established a match-winning lead.
