BRYN JONES SCORES VITAL FIRST GOAL AGAINST ARSENAL
CLUB JUST DEFEAT
POLICE “A”.
FAST INTER-SECTION HOCKEY CLASH · BICKFORD'S LATE DECIDING GOAL BUT for the fact that Hayward, the Police left-
back, had the misfortune to deflect the balli into his own goal, the result of their Inter- Section Hockey Tournament match with the Hong Kong Club, played on the Radio ground As yesterday, might have been quite different.
it was, the Police lost by the odd goal in three, but though they put up a good showing, it was quite evident that their early misfortune took some of the fight out of them.
The game started off at a terrific pace and due to the fact that the Club players were not quite at home on the fast sand: pitch, they took some time to settle down. Once they settled down to it, however, they were a very workmanlike team and the outstanding players in the side were Jack Rodger, Willie Reed. B. L. Bickford and Sydney Fowler.
Divett played his usual bustling game, but should have been pulled up a number of times for turning. A word of praise must also be given the left back, E. V. Reed, who played a cool and steady game, and it due to the fact that he went about his busi- ness is such an unassuming manner that he did not strike one as being outstanding.

BRYN JONES, the Welsh international for-

a tempting but unsuccessful bid of £8,000, played
a big part in the defeat of the Cupholders at the Molineux Grounds. He scored the vital opening goal.
