MURDOCH'S INJURY WAS A HANDICAP
HOME PACK'S SLUGGISH HEELING
A
(By Howard Marshall)
London, November 25. GRAND game, and, on the whole, the better side won. That was how we felt at Murray- field on Saturday, when New Zealand had beaten Scotland by three goals and a try (18 points) to a goal and a try (8 points). A little hard on Scot- land, perhaps, and standing there afterwards in the gathering dusk, trying to sort out our impres- sions, we wondered what would have happened if Murdoch, the Scottish left centre, had not been injured during the first half.
Vain speculation. maybe, but these are the facts. Scotland had drawn first blood with an unconverted try, and then Murdoch had to leave the field for ten minutes with slight concussion. New Zealand scored immediately after he went off, and when he returned he remained on the wing until the interval, obviously shaky, with Fyfe in the centre. While Scotland's defence was thus disorganised New Zealand scored twice more, but in the second half, with Murdoch in the centre again, each side scored

THE Club-Army match in the Triangular Cricket Tournament, which started on Box- ing Day, will be continued this afternoon at 1.30 p.m. on the Club ground when the home team, who were 107 for 2 at the close of play on the first day, will resume their innings.
They are 170, ruis behind with 8 wickets in hand and as it is almost impossible for two strong teams like the Club and Army to be out in an afternoon, a draw seems a foregone conclusion.
E. R. Duckitt and EL Owen-Hughes, the two not outs, both played good cricket on Thursday, and if they should produce the same form again this aftamoon the spectators will be treated to some first class cricket.

Defence depends so much upon positioning that it is bound to be affected when a wing three-quarter, however experienced and excellent player he may be, has to act as an emergency stop- gap in midfield.
