N.S.W. AUSTRALIAN NATIONALFOOTBALL RECORD
It is ullfortunate ,hat the season shoulll heushered in, in the midst of war, but it is theLca::,TUc's intt"\lltion to carryon as usual, acc~l'd-ing to the Government's i,lea, that sport, as wella.- business, is cssential to Australia's <Jail)'life. We hil\"e, t1terefon', madc preparationfor a full season's programme; hut, if at anytime the Government thinks that some restric"tions should be put on sport, 1 fecI surc themellibers of my League will unanimously agreeto fall in ,dth any plans that win assist theGovernment in its great effort to help the.Empire win tht' War ..
Our main aetivi'ty ,"'iIl, of course, be our.,1'i'en,iership Compel ilion. This "'ill he ctllTic,1'on in the usual \Yay and the 0,,1\" yariation,,-ill be in the lli.atto;' of ~l'OUIH1s. ;1'hc Leaguehas another term for the usc of Trumper Parkand Kensington,. in a[ldition we have seeun',ltlates at Kogarah Oval, and probably SytlneyCricket (hound No.2.
As reganls Erskineville, pl'.trons are funy aware that the 01[1 groun[l has.becn tlemolished by the Housing Improvement Board, and -in its place 'has beenbuilt what \\"ill eventually be one of the finest >,uhurban grounds in Austruli,i.Th"c League is already installed there an[l we hope that when thc now grand.~tan<J is built'trat we will. attract a great uumbcr of people who hitherto havenever come. out to this ground .. If they do, \\"e feel sure tltey will be most.agreeably surprisctl at the elaborate plan on which this new ground has beenbuilt, and also the ~ize of thej!}aying field, which is probably onc of, if not thelargest, in the :Metropolitan area. . .. .
Thc standard of our clubs should again show further improyement, as despitethe fact that we have lost some of our players through enlistment, there has boenquite an influx of talent from other States, and these together with ';01110. of OUl"
very promising juniors should lift up the standard considerably.
