With regard to the team, there will be no material difference. Donkin will be greatly missed, but the three-quarter line will be by no means weak with Pearce, Pictor, Greenfield, and another new man just left college, who is expected to be an acquisition. Pinsent, who showed such remarkably good form in one or two matches last season is expected to play regularly at back, and should he prove to be in anything like last season’s form should stand a good chance of obtaining his county cap. Jackson will probably play but little, if at all. The forward rank will be up to the usual high standard. All last season’s pack area available. The question of having a second team has not yet been determined, but should the committee decide that a second team is desirable, all expenses will be paid for the players. The old ground on the Teign Mashes will again be used, and it is now being put in order.
