THE ARMY WERE OUT FOR FLYING MORTENSEN-BUT QUICK REVENGE AGAINST HUNGARY HAS THE BALL
POLICE AND GOT IT!
By I.M. MacTAVISH
Earlier this season I went along to Boundary Street to see the Army and the Police in opposition. On that occasion I saw a very inept soldiers' eleven deservedly beaten and as this was the first time the teams have met since then I wanted to see what changes the return would pro- duce. I was rewarded with an excellent contest, but this time the Array made no mistake and were worthy winners by 3 goals to nil.
It was obvious from the first kick that the Army were ut for quick revenge. and, by George, they got it. With the game only 2 minutes old a delightful high speed move saw Reeves cut right' through the defence and crash 'a beautiful drive into the far corner of the net leaving Teang Kai-wing spread- eagled on the ground.
This was a bright start and piny was maintained at an astonishing speed with Tols of beat and elever work coming from both sides. Au Chi-yin was
being well shadowed by Frozer and much of the Police approach play was suppressed Before Granger was caused any
real trouble.
The star of the game at this stage was Bennett in the Army forward line and he was cauS- ing panic among the defenders whenever he had the ball. It was his persistence that led to the second goal. He retained possession: in several tackles and from his
