KEEN DUEL AT STADIUM. Navy Score only Goal Five Minutes From Close. Until the last ten minutes of the Navy's match with Kowloon, It was anybody's game. Both sides exhibited some sparkling football at high speed, and if Kowloon's Joseph's held the South methods led to more dangerous Wales Borderers prior to the in- openings, the Navy attack was bet- ter supported and therefore more persistent, Kowloon had two gilt- edged chances of making the game safe. In the first half Mosa shof from un acute angle when a short pass to Hedley, who was lying unmarked, must have pro- duced a goal. In the second Hed- ley sent lanson right through with|i a delightful pass, and the outside. Teft fumbled unaccountably after taking the ball to within' three. yards of the goal. In the closing stages, Kowloon began to feel the pace and the Navy half-backs got on top. Some brilliant work by Skinner produced 能 Koal five minutes from the end, Redgate healing through smurtly.
Some misunderstanding arose about the Kowloon team, with the result that they turned out with only fex men. Guest came to fill the right-half berth after Len minutes play, but he was a for from satisfactory substitute and Skinner, the Navy left-winger, elnded
him with consistency. This one weakness wis probably the determining factor, for almost all the Navy threats developed on this wing, and though Martin played splendidly at back, the extra work thrown on his should- era was more than he could com- fortably manage. Similarly, the Kowloon attack suffered from lack of support. Both McKelvie and Guest hung back, leaving the for- wards to fend for themselves to a Inrge extent, On their loft wing, Dowman was a regular glution for work, the outstanding player on the field.
Had Pile, Martin and Angus not been at the top of their form, the Navy would undoubtedly have won this game with case, but the keen tackling and sound positional the backs worried the play of Navy forwards into shooting at long range or too hurriedly, and they were either badly off the tar get, or Angus had plenty of time to get to the more accurate efforts. The smartest work came from Skinner and Dickinson on the left, their clover combination causing Angus lots of anxiety, Redgato was a great improvement on Pea- cock at cemre-forward, while Magee and Peacock, the right wing pair, could make little hond- way against Pile (who gave his beat display of the season,) und Dowman.
The Navy half-backs began very shaklly, but soon, settled down, Pearce proving a splendid pivot. The backs were safe at all timoe, particularly in their kicking. Clucas had fewer shots to deal with than Angus, but those that como his way brought out his boat, Kowloon swung the ball about a good deal and⋅ lanson was respon-
