HAWTHORN supporters resent the criticism of

an old player as quoted on Monday in referring to

Hawthorn and North Melbourne, when he said:

"Neither side will be premiers within the next 40

years." Mr Reg Hunt, their secretary, in re-

ferring to the statement yesterday, said: "We

are making a big effort to build up a new side,

and it is not encouraging to hear such pessimistic

criticism. Don't forget Geelong had to wait 38

years for their premiership, and St Kilda have

never been on top in all their history. We are

only in our second year as a league team, but with

a young side we will improve and show the foot-

ball world we are worthy of our place." With

enthusiasts like Mr Ern W Kennon (president),

W Hulse (vice-president), Reg Hunt (secretary)

and Dan Minogue (coach), to say nothing of the

support of members of the Hawthorn Council, like

Councillor R W Lord, and others, and the alle-

giance and co-operation of the Hawthorn-East

Melbourne Cricket Club, there should be every

hope of building up a strong side. A brickmaker

or two from Mitcham might give the side some

strength and weight. Dan Minogue has retired

from the captaincy, and yesterday evening Burke

was elected in his stead. With C Splatt, the

crack half-back, on the injured list, the club

has been deprived so far of one of its champions,

but he is in the team for tomorrow. In losing

McKenzie to Ballarat Imperials they have suffered

a further loss on the defence lines. Everuss,

from Broken Hill, pleased them with his first

game on Saturday. He is aged only 22 years, and

thus has plenty of football ahead of him. Beck,

his club mate, has had only three weeks' training,

after a month in hospital, and thus cannot be ex-

pected to be at his best. Stewart, from Wil-

laura, may not be able to play tomorrow on ac-

count of a boil, though he has been chosen. Such

a visitor does not tend to make football a comfort-

able pastime. They have great hopes of Francis,

the seventeen-year-old son of the secretary of the

Hawthorn-East Melbourne Cricket Club, who is described as

"a pocket edition of Percy Parratt, cool and

clever". If he be as good, Hawthorn are lucky.

Millard, from Camberwell, is showing promise as

a wing man, and may be in the team soon, but

Brown is still on the injured list. The changes in

the team for tomorrow are that Donovan and

Maple are replaced by Splatt and Francis.
