been very unfortunate, inasmuch as we
have been very weakly represented in the
two, games. Therefore a real test of our full
strength has not yet been applied. Under
the circumstances, criticism of the team must
be deferred until our full strength has been
on view. The 2nd XI also cannot be
adversely criticised, as a definite selection
for the second team cannot be decided upon
until the first team is more settled. The 3
goals to 2 defeat sustained iby the second
team was again the sole result of weak
representation. The players did well to
keep the margin of defeat down to one goal;
as the other two 2nd XI games were won
with something to spare in each game, we
have not much room for complaint in this
department. There is however a sad lack of
good positional play. A player expecting to
receive a pass, should make his own position
by running clear of the opposition thus
providing himself with plenty of room in
which to operate, when he recieves the ball.
No player who loses the ball should stand
and watch his opponent taking the ball
away, every effort should be made to
retrieve it, otherwise too much work is
thrown upon the shoulders of a colleague.
This a point every member of the team
should note and act upon.
No matter which member of the forward
line receives the ball, the other four should
at once place themselves in the correct
position to be on the alert for a pass. All five
forwards should help in each attack; too
often do we see only three or sometimes
four forwards on the attack whilst the other
one or two are walking aimlessly about the
half way line. This can easily be remedied
if each forward will remember that it is part
of his duty to be up with every attack and
endeavour te keep level with the ball.
Will all players please note that, under
no circumstance will they train the day pior
to a match in which they are taking part,
unless they have done no previous training
during the week.

DE COMPETITIE-INDEELING.
De spanning is geweken: we weten, tegen
wie we in den komenden winter moeten
spelen.
En nu is er een verderfelijke mentaliteit
bij diverse leden en supporters gekomen:
men is zoo murw gebeukt door drie slechte
jaren, dat men alleen maar vraagt: ,,Wie is
er misschien zwakker dan wij?''
Nu heb ik eens nagegaan de resultaten,
welke wij de twee laatste jaren tegen onze
aanstaande tegenstanders behaalden! Men
bedenke hierbij, dat het twee seizoenen
waren, waarbij wij voortdurend in degrada
tiegevaar waren.
Ziehier de uitslagen:
Zandvoort, gewonnen 31, gelijk 11.
Hercules, gewonnen 31, verloren 63.
Velox, gewonnen 10, verloren 20.
Baarn, gewonnen 51, gewonnen 51.
Zeeburgia, gewonnen 43, verl. 41,
verloren 41, verloren 81.
D. E. C., gewonnen 21, verloren 40,
verloren 43, verloren 41
B. F. C., verloren 02, gelijk 11.
T. O. G., verloren 32, gewonnen 32,
E. D. O., niet gespeeld.
Alzoo: gespeeld 20, gewonnen 8, gelijk 2,
verloren 10, puntenaantal 18, goals 4053.
Het mag dan niet daverend zijn, ik meen
toch, dat bijna ieder, die dit leest, zal zeg
gen: ,,Dat valt me toch eigenlijk nog mee."
Tegen al deze vereenigingen boekten we
A.F.C.-ers, begunstigt onze adverteerders!
