Purdue, in the Artillery, goal, had much more to do than Kennard and was clean and safe in his handling.
Roberts, at centre half, played hard and had a trying time against the Signals inside forward while at his sides, Goodenough and Fisher had two speedy wingers to watch.
Taylor, of the Signals, was the best back on view while Parry, at centre half, broke up the movements of the Gunner forwards with his tackling.
The Signals' forwards were faster on the ball than the Gunners' and gave the Artillery intermediate line, much to do with the result that the latter were of little assistance to their
forwards.
The match ended in a win for Omar by the narrow margin of 21. shots to 19 on the 28th head.
Omar, who won the singles 'cham- pionship in 1923, 1931 and 1937, and was runner-up in 1928, led yesterday up to the 22nd head when Bradbury drew level at 16-10.
On the next head, Bradbury gained a single and the scores were again level at 19-19 on the 27th head. Omar then scored two to win the match after a very keen struggle.
