"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." [6]
