Drs. to M'bro. Messrs W. C. Cuff, E. Green & G. Evans.
O'Donnell (P. N. E.) Reports of this player by Directors present
at the match v P. N. E. were unanimously in his favor,
but it was reported that the Club were not now
prepared to part with him.
Irish players Messrs E. Green, H. Hart & Secy. did not
recommend any of Armstrong (L. B.), McNally (I. R.) or Cochran
(O. R.) of Portadown, as being yet good enough for League
football. Messrs Green & Hart strongly recommended Doherty,
(R. H.) of Derry City.
S. L. Players Mr. E. Green did not like Marsden (L. B.)
of Bournemouth, but thought Dryden (O. L.) Bristol City,
well worth seeing again. He had heard good reports
of Chilcott (I. L.) Bristol City & Redwood (O. L.) Walsall.
Blackshaw (Oldham) Mr. W. C. Gibbins thought this O. L. looked
good & should be seen again. Milligan (L. H.) was good in
defence but poor in construction. Barkas (I. L.) Halifax Town
was very good indeed.
Prothers (Rochdale) Mr. W. Laine gave a fairly good verdict
of this O. L. who had played on the opposite wing.
Scottish players Mr. R. R. Cochran gave an excellent report
of Black, I. L. of Hearts, but a further poor report of
McNee.
Robinson (Wedy.) Secy. reported that the Club would
part with this player for £9,500. No action taken.
Barraclough It was decided not to proceed with any
