ROYAL CORPS OF SIGNALS

By "Sportshawk"

Royal Corps of Signals were no match for Royal Engineers in a Hockey Association Tournament game played at Sookunpoo yesterday afternoon and they lost by four clear goals.

Signals, although they put up -4, - gallant fight in the rst period during which they only conceded ene goul, collapsed very badly 'on: the resumption, giving Sappers a free hand towards the end.

Though severely tested, Trus- cott, the 'keeper, played a brilli- ant game for the Signals, espec- ally in the first period, whereas Dobson had had an easy time between the sticks for the Sap- pers.
