Duncan at goal for Army was very shaky throughout the match, his attempts at saving being only half-hearted. Naysmith and Sheehan showed no understanding whatso- ever and cleared in a very haphazard fashion. The former had no control over the South China left winger, while the latter managed to cover Yeung at times only.

The half-back line played a very poor game. Their clear- ances were for the most part uncertain and faulty, and, they gave no support to their fur- wards. Bright's policing of Lee was too rigidly observed and a very off-form Freshwater and Royal Scots Wilkinson combination were un- able to cope with either Fung or Lai.

Paris, Feb. 26 (Reuter), In the first Franco-British rug- by encounter since 1931, the
British Army beat the French Army by 36 points to 3.
The British team comprised entirely of English, Scottish, Irish or Welsh Internationals. They played brilliantly, were much heavier at forwards and got the ball constantly, which the three-quarters made good use of, whereas the French, perhaps awed by the reputa- tion of their opponents, were hesitant and always on the defensive after the first 15 minutes.

Changes in the teams playing in the Inter- national Tournament on Saturday robbed the matches of a great deal of their interest in a competitivo light as the teams lost their national character. Both games were interesting to watch. ding-dong The England v. Scotland game was a struggle between equally matched teams. It was hard luck on the English players to have lost the game by a kick and especially by one taken by Bidwell who should have appeared with instead of against them.
