Hitherto the Navy and the Army have oach defeated the Club once each by narrow margins. Then the service teams drew, giving each three points. Yesterday's victory makes the Navy's total five. They cannot be beaten.
To tie, the Army must Beat the Club but the Navy must also lose to the Club in the return match. Any other result will make the Navy certain, win-

Play yesterday was of a very high order. The first half ran levenly and the score of 2-all at half-time was a fair indication of the game..
