In the third Orange opted for Leo Van Emmenes Bosschart and left half; as best left half was Puck van Heel drafted in the second team the Spartans in the fourth and Steeman Henk Arnold Horburger of VOC. About his choice of Emmenes Bosschart wrote: "One would go too far when Hagenaar claimed that this was a great footballer, because he excelled in technique and tactics are not as like for example Van Heel. But he was an all-rounder and especially his defensive game was very strong. With his lithe, well-built body and his vivacious, somewhat boyish-like game play, Leo Bosschart certainly in this hall of fame at home. "
