Navy Scrape Through To ULLYETT
A Last Minute Victory Against Army South
By "PAK LO”
In the last second of the second half of the Army South versus Navy match on Saturday, Newton gathered a cross kick by Rakatau to score well out and with Kay adding the two points for a conversion the Navy scraped through to a very narrow win of 5 points (1 goal), to 3 points (1 try) in what was, with the exception of the two scoring bouts, a disappointing game.
On the same ground earlier in the afternoon Club were held to a three-point lead at half sinie by the Police forwards but, gradually getting on top, pulled away to an impressive 26 point (4 goals, 2 tries) to nil victory which would easily have reached the 40 mark except that the referee disallowed three tries which looked certain scores.

World Ranking List
By VERNON MORGÁN
London, Jan. 6. · Vladimir Kuis, the phenomenal. Russian distance runner, is generally con- ceded top place in world ranking lists of sportsmen who did best in 1956.
Clearly he must be near the lop, if not at the top, but was his running at Melbourne equal to that of the brilliant Austrian skier, Toni Saller, at Cortinn D'Ampezzo? Here is one writer who thinks not-and would give pride of place to the Austrian on the grounds that his performance in winning the downhill, slalom and giant slalom at Cortina was greater than that of the Russian in winning the 5,000 and 10,000 Metres at Melbourne,
