He is a beautiful daisy cutter with his head turning as the club moves to and fro. in order to play like a top-night goiter ...

... Hockey Trials and Players Where the North Failed Against the South THE match between North and South at Brooklands, near Manchester, which the South won 3-1, was the last and certainly the best of the inter-divisional series.
