ROYAL NAVY BEAT ARMY IN KOTEWALL CUP SOCCER
SOLDIERS WEAK IN ATTACK FOR MOST OF MATCH
HALF-BACKS UNABLE TO OFFER ASSISTANCE

Two interesting games of rugby were seen at Sookunpoo on Saturday. In the first match, H.M.S. Dorsetshire defeated the Club "A" by three points to nil, and in the second the Club Ist XV beat the Army by 17-3.
In the senior gome, the Club made last-minute change, bringing in J. Redman for H.W.E. Heath, and the Army had Picton in place of Lieut.
