“Hopeful” writes: – “The Reds’ failure this season after the extremely bright prospects that were held out before the opening of the season has caused you to receive many letter on proposed teams. I intend to inflict another upon you, but I have some reason for doing so, inasmuch as I have watched both elevens – first and reserve teams.
“The following eleven are already tried men, and their play is understood by their co-players. To wit – Sam Hardy (or Gus Beeby); Ephraim Longworth and Alf West; Tom Chorlton, Ernest Peake, and James Bradley; Arthur Goddard, Joe Brough, Jack Parkinson, James Stewart, and Harold Uren.
“Hardy we know. Longworth we know to be a ‘find.’ West is coming on again nicely. Chorlton we knew as a half-back, for his play even now savours of the half-back at times. Peake is a fine player; and who can forget how Jim Harrop ‘bottled’ up Billy Meredith on that famous occasion when the ‘Reds’ won 7-2? Peake cannot play wing-half, but Harrop can, and has done so with credit.
“Goddard and Brough are a nice pair, and Uren have played together in the reserves, and both are tip-top players.”
