University Do Well. Talking about the University re- minds me that they scored a very creditable victory over the Army during the week-end and they still appear to be a good side even with out their star turn. However, they have a couple of difficult matches ahead, and it is in those matches that the real test will come. Should the University come through with lying colours the destination of the shield will be very open and if the I.B.C. and the University ware to Inget again in a final encounter to docidio who are superior, no keen arickotor should miss the match. The ER.C. lock a bit stronger on paper, but they have lost to the University this season and if the natali should come about, the result is by no means easy to forecast.
Second Division Pointers,
An interesting game in the second divizion was the match between the Indians and Craigengower on the .Indians' ground. The Indians were without F. M. el Arculli, one of their best players, in the seconds, and sorely missed him. The defeat they suffered it the hands of the Happy Valley team has considerab- ly reduced their chances of winning the second league, but the Happy Valley team, by their victory, has nowy firmly established itself in the running for league honours and their chances look very good. The Craigengawer's second eleven is as keen as mustard and their keenness looks like being rewarded this sea- sch.

Shield Surprise.
Seven matches in both the Senior and Junior Shield were played last Saturday, and the biggest surprise was undoubtedly the defest, of the Royal Artillery, the present lenders of the League, by the Lincolns. The Gunners were without the services of Taylor, their loft back who, it is understood, is at present on duty at Pekhawan, and this proved to be a great handicap. The form of some of the Lincoln players is erratie, particularly the defence and they lost to a weak team, the Recreio.

They envisage the new "queen of the road without fend ers, running-boards or other pro tuberances to resist the wind. The present car is called too complex," too costly to operate, too unsafe.
