The Navy scored first when one of their centre-threequarters broke through from the half way line. The try should not have been al- lowed as he knocked on badly be fore he got going. The kick at goal was taken too close in and it came no surprise to

38 charged down. The Club then nut on pressure and V. R. Gordon brought off a useful dribble and looked certain to score when he was grossly tackled by one of the Medway players when not in pos- session of the ball. The referee quite rightly blew his whistle and stood by the posts as if awarding a try. No forwards were up to the mark for Johnson's kick witich he took with Black lying down for him; so it was assumed that the referee had given a try for the in- fringement. Johnson converted the kick and gave the Club the lead. Some discussion followed the referee's decision after this in- cident both in the stand and in the pavilion. The referee was quite justified in his ruling. To back up my statement I will quote a soc- tion of rule 28 in the Official Rugby Rules:-"The Referee shall award a try if, in his opinion, ono would undoubtedly have been ob- tained but for the unfair play or unlawful interference of the de- fending team. Such try shall be awarded on a line parallel to the touch line through the spot where the ball was when the infringe- ment, took place."

Clvitians v. Borderers, The Civilians defeated the Borderers by eight goals to six. The losers, though holding a handi- eup of five goals, failed to takei advantage of their handicap.

,

In this match the Civilians were decidedly the better team and enjoyed most of the play. It was noticeable, however, that the Borderers had considerably improv ed their play,

Gordon and Newbigging were the outstanding players for the Civilians, scoring most of the goals, while Sommerville and Cooper play- ed well for the losers.

The most interesting chukka was perhaps the fourth when both teams failed to score. Play was fast and there were several exciting in- cidents when both teams went near to scoring.

Civilians: Mr. Newbigging, Mr. Gordon, Mr. Stanton, and Mr. Davey.

Borderers:-Major Sommerville, Col. Galwin Austin, Capt. Cooper, | and Lieut. Cox,
