SATURDAY'S RUGGER

IN THE NICK OF TIME
SOMETIMES THE TOUCH JUDGE SEES WHILE THE REFEREE DOESN'T
Says “PAK LO”
Of late the standard of refereeing in the Colony has improved almost beyond recognition but on Saturday afternoon in the Police versus Army South game the standard plumbed the depths for the referee handed down some of the most curious rulings ever seen.
The result was that the game lost savour for both spectators and players, for though the Army South won comfortably by 24 points (3 goals, I penalty goal, 1 try) to 8 points (1 goal, 1 try) the Army fifteen were obviously uncomfortable at racking up a larger score than they deserved through the efforts of the referee.

This game goes right to the top of the list of those I hope to for- get as quickly as possible.

The speed of
From the word 'Go' this was a teethy hell-for-leather affair. the game in the early stages was almost fantastic and the strange feature was that the normally jet-propelled Tigers were playing second fiddle at what has often been their own special prerogative.
