SAPPERS

AGAIN IN THE FINAL

Junior Shield Classic

LYEMUN GO DOWN GLORIOUSLY

One of the best junior foot- ball games this season was wit- nessed at Causeway Bay yester- day afternoon when the En- gineers and Lyemun met in the replay of their Junior Shield Semi-Final Round tie, and re- sulted in a win for the Sappers by the odd goal in seven, in a -game packed with thrills and excitement, and which produced football of a standard rarely at- tained in the Second Division.

Lyemun gave an amazingly im- proved display and though defeated, went down gloriously. Three times they took the lead, but only held it for a brief space..

-Glenn Cunningham, famous track star from Kansas, again “won the Wanamaker Mile in New York City, at the 30th annual running of the Millrose A. A games. It was his fourth win of the famous trophy. He is here shown having a nice, cold drink out of it.

Both teams were tinder strength Rapier's

Callard being, absent from the En- gineers' team, while Sparkes was an absentee from the Gunners'

team These absentees forced Hurst to take the outside-left posi- tion, in the Sappers' team, and Knight to take the pivotal position Race in the gunners' team.

FINE SPIRIT

While there can be no denying that the Engineers fully deserved Race their win, the Gonners must be commended on the magnificent dis

play: they put up. They went in-

to their task wholeheartedly and

spirit of give and take which has

been absent from most of our senior

games.

Davies was outstanding in the Race Gunners goal.

Winstanley and Baker, the backs, covered each other confidently throughout the game, and were sure in their hefty clearances but in the latter stages of the game, were not too comfortable against the short-passing tactics of the Engineers.
