allow Dvr. Reid to have a chance at forward, which should suit him better than the full-back berth. The players of note in the R.A.S.C. team during this game were L/Cpl. Hoskin, Dvr. Wattan, Sergt. Rogers, L/Cpl. Green- wood, Dvr. Beetson-Sneddon shone as hooker and L/Cpl. McPhearson: also gave a good performance.
Signals were best served by Sigmn. Cogbill, who broke up several ex- cellent attempts on the part of the op- position with his keen tackling and good positioning. L/Cpl. Bedford (try), Sigmin. Morgan (try), and Sigmn. Hill (2 tries) were the scor- ers, the latter making one glorious run of 65 yards to score. Unfortun- ately none of the tries were converted · and Signals will have to Improve In this respect if they intend to carry off the cup. Sigmn. Harrington, who has just joined the team, surprised every- one with his standard of play and showed that he was obviously possess- ed of a sound previous knowledge of the game.
