NAVY DEFEAT CLUB IN
RUGBY TRIANGULAR Strength Of Navy Forwards Is Clearly Demonstrated
Last week the Club were beaten by the Army 6 points to three, and again lost their second triangular game when they went down to the Navy by 16-10..
The Navy, who led 13-0 at half- time, fully deserved their success on Saturday. They played without Currey during the whole of the second half, while Darley was off the field for ten minutes during this period, and get their, six for- wards held the Club' pack and secured the ball more often! It must be stated, however, that their pack were a little over enthusiastic In the matter of wedging into the scrum. A firm drive into scrum is orthodox, but there is no neces- sity to enter like a battering ram and practically knock an oppos- ing forward out.

through, and at least three scoring chances were given away.
Navy Score First, Darley opened the scoring for the Navy after a fine passing movement, Linton converting from in front of the posts. Brown went over in the comer for the second try. Buckley failing to majorise the effort. Miers and Slater then made unsuccessful efforts to drop a goal, but it was not long after that St. Clair Ford took a high pass to go over near the posts for Linton to add the goal points.
Commencing the second half without Currey, who went off at half-time with a damaged shoul- der, the Navy brought Hammett out of the pack to fill the wing position Ferguson nearly broke through for the Club, Buckley anti- cipating his swerve in the nick of
time.
the Club backed each other up A fine series of passes, where better than they usually do, saw King score an exciting try, which Robertson converted. King has clearly proved his justincation in the XV, being prominent again atid again. Cumming also played keen rugger.
ger.
The Navy handling was not up to its usually high standard which was fortunate for the Club other- wise they had been better and would not have suffered a much heavier defeat, though they put up an excellent defence in the Arst half when, opposed to the full Navy side, and in the second half were dangerous on several occasions, though stared off. Buckly played a grand game in the Navy defence in this second half.",
In the Arst five minutes Griffiths ↑ Intercepted a pass to St. Clair Ford and game Lammert a clear run to the line when confronted by Buckley, but the winger in fortunately knocked on and threw away an opportunity which might have had an effect on the result. It was a pity because after this Lammert had not, another decent chance, especially in the second Linton was just wide with a half when he hardly handled, the penalty kick before Darley went ball. Grinths should learn that over in the corner to give him a winger is a much surer scorer another opportunity, which he than an Inside three and very again just misssd. The Navy now much more so against a heavy op-ed 16-10. The Navy should have positions In the second half gone further ahead when St. Clair passes from trimiths either went Ford tave Slater a clear run for to the right or he tried to get the line, but he knocked on.
Lammert Scores, Darley who had retired some minutes earlier, came on after this score, but the Club, inspired by their success, further decreased the arrears when Lammert touch- ed down in the corner after loose play and sampe neat footwork. Robertson again converted from a dimeult angle, making the score 13-10

and Robertson were splendid in the Club defence and Turner at stand-off was on the job all the time.
For the Navy, "Linton, Evans' and Pascoe were outstanding among the forwards: Miers and Forbes excellently, but St. Clair Ford seemed a bit off form. Buck- ley saved the Navy from possible defeat in the second half when they were men short, playing won- derfully.
