NEW CANOUSTIE COURSE RECORD
MOBILES WATER-POLO VICTORY
FOWLER BROTHERS IN LIMELIGHT
“Y” PLAY WRONG TACTICS
The
Mobile Machine Guns gained a fine victory over a European Y.M.C.A. water-polo team in their friendly fixture yesterday evening in the “y” Bath, winning by the odd goal in three in a very closely contested game and after the Volunteers had led at the interval by two clear goals.
G. H. Fowler and S. A. Fowler, the centre-forward and goal- keeper, respectively, of the Volunteers, contributed in no small measure to the success of their team, the former's two goals being excellent, while the latter was unbeaten, between the sticks.
The "Y" team, attacking first in the shallow end of the bath, adopt- ed wrong. tactics and instead of concentrating on defence, went all out for goals and as a result, in the second half, were pretty much ex- hausted
