Looking over the entries for this event, which is the second leg of the "Daily Double," I think that I am right in stating that the finish will 940 be fought out between A Great Time (Mr. S. C. Liang), Strathcarrick (Mr. D. Black) and Discovery Bay (Mr. S. L. Yuen).

SELKIRK retained their unbeaten record at Phil-rick, with A Great. Time taking se

iphaugh by defeating Watsonians in the last minute of a game which provided the spectators with more thrills than they have had for many a day...

IN A SECOND HALF WHICH KEPT EVERYONE ON TIP TOE. THE EDINBURGH MEN KEPT IN FRONT RIGHT TO THE END, AND NO SOONER HAD J. BEATTIE DIVED OVER FOR THE WINNING SELKIRK TRY THAN THE FINAL WHISTLE WENT, THE SOUTERS THUS WINNING BY A GOAL. A PENALTY GOAL, AND TWO TRIES TO A GOAL, A DROPPED GOAL, AND A TRY.

Although Good Morning (Mr. Si play of the Selkirk forwards. They produced the Border style of play at its best, and it was a striking example of good forwards beat-L. Yuen) only just managed to beat ing good backs, for Watsonians were undoubtedly better behind the Valorons (Mr. Y. T. Fung) at the

scrum.
