Navy goalie stopped the ball, prac- tically a the goal line, with his hand and then threw out the ball. A peanity holly was not awarded. If it had, the Club would probably have scored bat, on the other hand, they may have not.

At half-time, the senior service led by 2-nit, Shortly before the end they were 4-2 and the equalis- ing goal came in the last few minutes.
