Coffey reported on their visit to the Hearts v Raith Rovers game to see the three inside forwards of Hearts. Conn (I. R.) 5'7" or 8". Did not impress as likely to strengthen our team. Bauld (C. F.) age 27, 5'9" or 10". Although he was better then anything we have, was not impressive to be recommended. Wardhough (I. L) age 25. 5'9" or 10" did not compare with either Potts or Fielding. McEwan (O. R.) Raith Rovers, age about 21-22 5'8" or 9" & 11 stone impressed greatly. He was speedy, kicked well with either foot and was quite fearless. Colville (C. H.) Raith Rovers. This player who was tall and well built, and good in the air, was worth keeping in mind if not too old.
