A brilliant all-round display Partap Singh `gave Kumaon Rifles their first "title" yesterday afternoon before a large crowd at Sookunpoo, when they defeated H.K.S.R.A. In the final match of the Army Large Units' Hockey Tournament by two clear gaola, after leading 1-0 at the interval, The G.O.C., Major-General Grassett presented the Cup to Captain Loch, Kumaons' captain, at the conclusion of the contest.
Last year the Cup was won by Raj-
who were putana Rifles,
this year beaten by the present holders. ·
The match throughout was keenly contested; the winners however, de- combination and monstrated better showed greater' speed than the losers. The outstanding player on the field yesterday was undoubtedly Partap Singh, left-winger for Kumaons, whose speed and methodical stick-work earned loud applause from about 400 spectators.

He scored the first goal about minutes from the start with a clean shot from a centre from Trilok Singh, the centre-forward. About five min- utes towards the end of the second period, he revealed his best form, beat- ing three players along the line and sending in a powerful shot from very difficult angle from which it ap- peared almost impossible to score.
The ball, however, entered the bot- tom of the net.
THE OLD FIRM
a
Apart from Partap Singh for Ku- maons, Nerain Singh, inside-left, did well and combined splendidly with the winger. Capt. Loch, right-wing- er, was not at his best and mishit on many occasions.
Kirsna Singh, in the pivotal position, was very sound. He combined nicely with Hansa Datt and prevented the losing forwards from getting through on numerous occasions, besides distri- buting well.
Nabal Singh and Gushain Singh were the best pair of backs. They defended stoutly and cleared strongly and, in consequence, the custodian, Hera Singh, was not severely tested.
THE LOSERS
For the losers, Dalip Singh, centre- his forward, and Manna Singh, on right, were outstanding in attack: The former showed good stick-work and was very dangerous in Kumaons' cir- cle. He had rather bad luck on two occasions, when he sent in powerful shots, both hitting the upright, He was too well watched by Kumaons' pivot, however,
The half-back, line was the weak link and allowed much rope to Ku- maons. Abdul Rahman, the pivot, did his best but lacked support.
Mohd Fazal, between the sticks, worked very hard and saved several good shots attempted by Kumaons' for- wards, while Kishan Singh, left-back. had to play a lone hand as Mohd Yu- saf, his partner, was rather erratic.
Kumaon Rifles:-Kera Singh; Gushain Singh and Nabal Singh; Hansa Datt, Kirsno Singh and Lal Singh; Capt. Loch, Sher Singh, Trilok Singh, Narain Singh and Partap Singh.*....

year, Brendon Wilson, formerly of the Central British MATCH
School, ran a fine race in the open 110 Metres High Hurdles at Caroline Hill Stadium yesterday to finish a tenth of a second behind Capt. P. J. Skipwith, R.A., who ran the dis- tance in 17 seconds flat.
Narwant Singh, the Police hockey player, was third in 18.4 seconds and Cpl. Devereux of the Royal Scots was fourth. The race was a close one with Wilson leading up to the 10th hurdle, where Skipwith, who was left at the start, just managed to overtake him.
The Open 800 Metres saw Pte. Man- son. of the Royal Scots, badly beaten by the C.A.A.F. Champion, Heung Kat-sang, who won by 20 to 25 yards, finishing in 2 mins. 10.5 secs. Manson returned 2 mins. 19.4 secs., and was a good 10 seconds off the form that won him the University Open 880.
D. H. Taylor, of the Police, who is chiefly known as a short-distance free style swimmer, won the discus throw with 118 feet, with Captain Skipwith, throwing just over a 100 feet, second. SPLENDID RUNNING
