On account of Volunteer manning exercises held during week-end, only two League matches were played on Saturday. These were the Indian R.C.-Craigengower match in the First Division and the one between Craigengower and the Police in the Third.
Whereas the result of the First Division match, though must in- teresting, has no bearing whatever on the Championship (the title having already been won by Craigengower), the defeat of the Police at the hands of Craigengewer may well spell "finis" to their aspira tions for the Third Division title. However, ali is not lost for the Pulice as they need hut to score another tine in their three re- maining matches to put the title definitely out of the reach of their
