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 dia- 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 cohesion in the Navy side which
the upper Kave them hand all the time. The backs and the halves were so dependable that Dickenson,
In the Navy goal, had very little to do. Certainly he did not have more, than two or three shots fred at him, and these were from long range, with little hope for beating him.

In the middle of the field the Navy were definitely superior, Dixon per- forming prodigious amount of, work. He was here, there and everywhere, proving verlluble stumbling block to the efforts of the Scots forwards. And when they did
past him, Newly and Still suce cessfully prevented all attempts to

With the defence in such safe Hinds, the Navy forwards were able to concentrate solely on attack. The inside-forwards, Morrill and The- burn, made the openings and the others did the rest. The Navy men were always dangerous in front of goal and Duncan was given a buay afternoon.
SCOTS HESITANT In contrast to the Navy side, the Scots were hesliani and lacking in ingenuity.

There was no direct route for goal as far as the Scots were concerned: If one move was sufficient to transfer the ball 10 an unmarked man, they chose to do so in two, Rerein Iny their greatest fault. The anilors had too much time in which to position themselves, and as a result the Scots always found themselves hurled back diwaya whenever an nitaclcing movement began

FORTUNES FLUCTUATE IN INTERPORT RUGBY GAME ON SATURDAY
(By "Fly-Ital")
In a game where the lead remained with one team this minuto and the other the next, the Malayan rugger players drew with the Club at 19 points each (two goals and three tries to two dropped goals, a try, a penalty goal and a goal) on Saturday at Happy Valley.

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 lett wing. was yards faster than Craigle, who was opposite him, and yet had little chance of showing his pace.
