Perhaps I can add one or two comments to this very fair report of the game in This was the first match the school had played for a month, we had completed a Szeged. It was obvious from the start that our opponents were a good side and a much 27-hour journey only two days previously, Kando's style of play was completely dlfferent proposition from the previous game against Kando K alman . This side was different from anything we had experienced before, and the referee's interpretation of more C< physical" in its approaches to the game, and showed a very mature app'reciation the laws was also unfamiliar. These four factors contributed to the team's very poor of tactics. The defence was rarely tested but on those few occasions looked very display throughout the match, nnd to the fact that Kando were wholly in control until competent. The mid-field play was fluent and accurate and the forwards played just before half-time-the critical period during which the match was 10' t. We began extremely well, particularly the right-wing pair who possessed speed and skill and were the game by playing a more defensive formation than usual, with the idea of opening too good on the day for our defenders. In the light of thi, we did well to contain the out after we had settled down, and also of trying to prevent Kando from scoring an score to 4-0. Raishbrook performed well in goal; Beal, after a shaky start at centre-half, early goal. Although this naturally meant that, during this period, most of the play played extremely well at right back. Ware-Lane and Couchman had the unenviable task was in our half, we did contain the opposition for a quarter of an hour, after which, of marking this talented right-wing pair, while Houslop, towering in the middle, in the space of ten minutes, three bad defensive errors cost us three goals. The ball prevented the side from falling apart at the seams in the early stages. The mid-field was deflected past an off-balanced Smith for the first goal after Couchman's tackle had pair, Hebden and Dennis, tried very hard to get things moving but were often faced failed to prevent the left-winger from half-hitting his shot. The second goal occurred with an extra defender streaming through. Wilkinson worked and worked, while on a after Houslop had collided with Ware-Lane and two Kando forwards were left unmarked, few occasions Chambers challenged the defence single-handed. Davis played excellently, and the third came after the outside right slipped past Ware-Lane and squared the ball particularly in the second half: this match saw the introduction of John Gibbons to along the ground past several static defenders and the centre forward drove it into 1st XI football at outside right; spectators and players agreed that he showed much the corner of the net. For the last ten minutes of th:: half, it seemed as if we were potential and although he did not make much impact on this game we saw good ball coming into the game, but a very poor second half destroyed that impression. Even control, an ability to centre ~. ccurately and a desire not to waste a single ball. allowin g for the fact that tackling with any strength almost invariably incurred the referee's displeasure, there was a dearth of the basic elements of simple passing I have confined comments to an assessment of individual players as the newspaper talking, running off the ball and above all of harassing the opposition which became report summarises succinctly the trends of the game. It can be seen from these vt>ry mediocre under pressure on the rare occasions when it was applied. All the comments that no player played badly; ironically this was our best performance on chances that we did create, with two exceptions, were squandered by bad shooting and tour. Chambers will have cause to remember for a long time his glaring miss when he hit D. BUNKER. a po'\t instead of accepting the easier opportunity to score. Our two goals, scored by Chambers, came at the end of the match after Kando had scored twice-one from a Friday, April 7th, 1967. 1st XI v. Eotvos Gimnazium, at Tata, N.

• A Career in the Bank

Never before have opportunities for young people been as promising as they are today in Barc/ays Bank. Here is a brief outline of the career that awaits you there.

The Bank wants young men of character and integrity, with a good standard of general education. Given these qualifications and an aptitude for the job, there is no reason why you should not find yourself a Branch Manager in your thirties, with a salary upwards of £2,165, and the chance of doubling your pay by the time you are 50. Looking ahead, you could be one of those Managers whose salary exceeds £5,000 a year-a man with a big job, full of interest and responsibility. A goal worth striving for; and those who reach it will have a pension at 65 (without any contributions on their part) of £3 ,000 a year or more. For the early years there's a minimum salary scale for satisfactory work: £360 at 16 to £1,085 at 31 with a year's seniority for a good Advanced Level certificate and three years' for a degree, plus certain allowances if you work in large towns (£150 a year for employment in Central London). From 21 onwards merit can take the salary well above these figures; if the early promise is maintained, the salary at 28 can be £1,280, instead of the scale figure of £955.

For further particulars write to the Staff Managers at 54 Lombard Street, London Ee3. How fast you get on in the National Provincial Bank depends on how good you are. The capable and ambitious man can be earning £655 per annum (£805 in Central London) at the age of 20 and £1,000 per annum (£1,150 in Central London) at 24. Outstanding men are achieving administrative positions in their late twenties in which salaries progress from £1,305 to £1,785 per annum Barclays Bank and beyond. These lead to Managerial appointments where salaries range from over £2,000 to £5,000 a year and more. The opportunities of achieving Money is our business Managerial status are excellent. Practical training is given in day-to-day Banking, commerce and foreign trade, whilst further training is given on special courses at the Bank's Residential Staff Colleges. If you have a good G.C.E., preferably with 'A' level passes and are interested in a rewarding career, please write to the Staff Controller, National Provincial Bank Limited, P.O.
