Leading the Crimson offense will be Marv Weiss, inside left, and grey Hodnett, center forward, who have six and four goals respectively.

Munro, although plagued by a lack of reserves, has assembled a strong starting lineup. The halfbacks, especially center half Stacy Holmes and Captain Carey McIntosh, have had the knack of breaking up opponents' rushes before they gain momentum.
