"A. Murdison. Halifax (Northern Rugby league.) "A. Murdison is one of the club's finest discoveries. Born in Lowden (sic), he became connected with the Galashiels Rugby Union club, and quickly won distinction as a centre three-quarter with wonderful anticipation, and before turning professional, represented his county, besides being captain of his side. He possesses great speed, and is a strong straight runner. He played in the trial games for the last Australian tour in 1924, and only just missed securing a place." References
