THE Army went through one very anxious period in second half of this Lai Wah Cup replay on the Navy ground yesterday before the "all-clear" whistle brought them relief and victory. It was a period when only Rowlands stood between them and probable defeat. The goalkeeper, displaying brilliant anticipation, great agility and a pair of remarkably safe hands, kept out shots from all angles.
It was an unexpected phase of cause he persisted in turning his fool season by the game, for up to that time the flanks were very much more re- whon kicking. Evans and Taylor on

AN UNEXPECTED RESULT
(By "The Pilgrim"):
Two well-balanced tearns took the field yesterday morning when the Whites defeated the Colours by two goals to one in the ladies' Interport trial on the Club ground.

The Whites in turn had their op ponents on the defence, but Mrs. Burke, at right back, wus 100 slow to stop Miss D, Hunt, who was dunger on the left wing. The inter- val was signalled with the Colours leading by the only goal scorci.
