The problem will be the forwards: both Jack and Fulton can forage and open up play. They know how to draw an opposing defender before parting "with the ball. Playing football without the ball is the real art of football-the hallmark of the star player. It is the precise and delicate parting with the ball to the man who has gone into an open space to receive it and, after parting, moving clear of an opponent to get the return, Both Jack and Fulton understand this phase of football and if they can reach an understanding with their wingers and the centre forward, they might be able to cause the opposing defence some concern.
A lot will depend on just how Roboostoff will fit into the plan of things. Against a stopper centre half, the A.S.F. centre forward is not likely to be a success. This has been proved this season when he failed against Thomasson, the Durham's pivot, and his success, should the Corinthians pivot play a third back game, will depend on just how his inside men can draw an opponent away from him, and give him a pass clear of the opposing defence 50 that he can utilize his speed.
