The Volunteers. had a subatan- tial victory in the water polo match. They beat "United Ser- vices" by seven goals to nil, be-] ing three up at half time. There was not so much in it as the score appeared to show, the Ser rices holding their own in the early stages. However, they were deficient in shooting range. and power, which made all the difference, with Roza Pereira and Lawrence in deadly form for the Volunteers.
