NAVY FOOTBALLERS TOO GOOD FOR ROYAL SCOTS
SAILORS RETAIN
LEADERSHIP. IN Malaya's Dour Tackling Checks Club Team
SOCCER LEAGUE
(By "Abo")
If the Navy play for the remainder of the season as well as they did in the match against the Royal Scots at Causeway Bay yesterday, they need not fear to be dis- placed by any team from the top of the First Division foot- ball league table. They won this game by 6-0 and were by far the better side. Had it not been for the good work of Duncan in the Scots' goal, their score would have ex- ceeded even this total.
There was a colesion in the Navy Kave them the upper side which hand all the time. The backs and the halves were so dependable thus in the Navy goal, hnd Dickenson, very little to do. Certainly he did not have more than two or three shots fired at him, and these were from long range, with little hope of beating him.

WIN REPLAY
IN SHIELD
TOO CLEVER
Receiving the ball rather late on most occasions, the Club threes could not get going. More than one move- ment was frustrated by the Club men themselves by over-cleverness. The cross movement is very clever when It comes off, naturally, but it should not have to be painfully obvious and certainly no attack should be held up to bring it in. Straight passes out to the wings were called for. Stewart, on the Club left wing, was yards faster than Craigie, who was opposite him, and yet had little chance of showing hila pace.
