In the first half the first three goals were shot two by Lt. Walk- er and one by G. Bingh.
Though the RA.O. put up a splendid fight the Junjabs proved too hard to battle against and in the second half the fourth goal was scored. However, it must be said that it is due to the fine de- fence put up by the backs of the R.A.O. team that more goals were not scored.
