CLUB'S UNLUCKY DEFEAT TRIANGULAR TOURNEY
IN
SPECIAL DESCRIPTION OF GAME
BY "FLY HALF”
The Army strengthened their grip on the rugby Triangular Tournament leadership on Saturday, when they deleated the Club by 8 points to 7, in a game where luck favoured them and which the Club were unlucky to lose. Neither side was at full strength;, odd man over, that they appeared the Army being without Ruston, uangerous, From this point they MacFarlane and Tratt, while the Club asked much more likely to score, and were without Griove, Ferguson, Selby arter Lewis had knocked on from a and Bradford.

With Grieve suffering from a re- currence of his old leg injury and Fux unable to get away from Camp. the Club experimented with Jenkina at full back, a position entirely new to him. Fears was brought from the pack to replace Ferguson on the wing, and his place was filled by Burch, Kere cuming in for Bradford."
QUIET OPENING.
Prlur won the loss, but this gave him no advantage there was only Blight shifting breeze. The gamo opened rather quietly, with neither afde showing much life. For a while the Army pressed, but they seldom looked dangerous, and the Club had little difficulty in keeping their line intact. At length the Club woke up and took the ball into the Army hair, where, with a pack still getting more of the ball in the set scrums, and showing improved play in heeling from the loase, the backs were able to launch attack after attack.

In many respects it was one of the best ganies of soccer I have seen this season, and that Canton won 4-2 was but a just result, though never have a side lost more gallantly than the Hongkong men.
Canton enjoyed the services of such brilliant exponents as Ip Pak-wa, Tam Kong-pak and Fung King-cheung, and it is co exaggeration to say that they won the game for the visitors. But for them Hongkong would have had two goal margin in their favour. The Caroline Hill crowd revelled in the exchanges which in turn showed each team to advantage, but with Canton always the more dangerous.
