Three matches in the first round of the English Cup that were drawn on Saturday were replayed yesterday.
Gateshead, with the advantage of ground, triumphed over Tran- mere by the odd goal in five, thus qualifying to meet Folkestone in the second round and making their way to the third round compare
tively easy.
Wimbledon, who did well to draw with Fulham on Saturday, crumpled up on the latter's ground to the tune of 60. Fuiham now meet Halifax in the second round. Mansfield were visited by Hali- fax and put up a good fight, los ing only by the odd goal in three, Reaults as cabled by Reuter's Agency:-

TBy "Scram Half") The Club "A" fifteen defeated H.M.S. Medway yesterday at Happy Valley by a goal and a try (B points) to nil, thus avenging their defeat a fortnight ago.
On the run of the game thero was little to choose between the two teams. The Medway lacked initiative and the Club lacked com- bination and adopted individualis- tic tactics.
In the first half the Club started shakily, yet were mostly on the offensive, but only
splendid run by Johnson, who received in his own twenty-five and dashed up-field to touch down near the posts, gave them a three point lead at half-time.
The second half was more or its repetition of the opening stages, both packs striving man- fully for an opportunity to set
their
lines in motion. There was little respectivo three-quarter
to choose between the two packs. In the tight serums the Club Rerummaged high but, neverthe- less, held their own. In the loose both sets of forwards were con- spicuous, the Club being a little mere in the limelight than their opponents.

of feet up in the scrum. Pre- vioùa.games have revealed an un- checked fault which plays a big part in the hooking back of the ball. Only just recently I read of a Bedford player being ordered off the field for repeatedly keeping his feet up in the serum. An un- fair advantage to be gained from this trait should, be quelledon every possible occasion, as the forwards are largely responsible | for their side's success or failure.
The Club were pulled up twice for feet up in the scrum within striking distance of their own goal and both opportunities went unaccepted by the Naval men. More attention should be paid to the art of place kicking or even drop kicking. It is always safer to take a shot at the goal with n stationary ball than to attempt the drep, kick; therefore, it demanda concentration, as any man in the team may be called upon to try to add points.
How many times
have we heard a player shout out "Mark," and
when favourably placed what has he done with his opportunity?
