INDIAN R.C.'S REMARKABLE RECORD

E.G. POST'S BRILLIANT PERFORMANCE IN POLICE R.C. VICTORY

HOLLIDGE'S GREAT GAME

FOR CIVIL SERVICE

(By "SKIP")

W. Mair, above, former First Division Police skip, is now dis- playing his worth as No. 2 to G. Perking.

THE Police Recreation Club, First Division team created the biggest sensation of the season by defeating Craigengower last Saturday, whilst their Second Division team, in scoring their first win in the eight matches, completed a memorable double. YESTERDAY'S IN THE SENIOR MATCH, PERKINS AND HIS MEN WERE SURPRISES IN BRADBURY'S QUARTETTE BY THE USEFUL MARGIN OF 13 OPEN SINGLES

SHOTS, BUT CAREY'S RINK WAS ALSO UP, AND SHEPHERD ONLY FOUR DOWN TO OMAR. ON A GREEN WHICH, DUE TO THE HEAVY SHOWER ABOUT NOON, WAS ONLY BARE- LY PLAYABLE SOME OF THE CRAIGENGOWER MEN WERE QUITE UNABLE TO ADAPT THEMSELVES, BUT BRADBURY WAS IN GREAT FORM AND REPEATEDLY SAVED HIS SIDE.

Of the Police four, all of whom were good, Post was nothing short of being brilliant and laid the foundation for the victory, whilst Perkins did all that was expected of him and a lot more. Carey and Basa had a close fight all the way through. Six down after a couple of ends, Carey's men never slackened and by the 17th had a winning margin of 10 shots. But good play by the opposi- tion produced nine in the last four heads, including a six, and the Craigengower men finished up only one in arrears.

Shepherd has reason to be, gratified over his game with Omar, who is in great form at the moment. L. Glendinning had the better of Gomés most of the way, but Razack usually made things level by beating Booker. The re- P.R.C. maining four were pretty level except for that bit extra which K.B.G.C. Omar possessed and which turn-
