There is a strong need of line men, as there is barely one man for each of the centre positions. All the squads in fact...
About sixty men turned out yesterday afternoon to practice for the class elevens. Both '99 and 1900 had enough candidates out to form two elevens but '98 had a few short of that number. All the squads went through light practice which was followed by a run around the field.
