BY BEST BALL
That brief waving of the club back and forth over the ball, as the player gets set for his shot, may seem just so much wasted time and motion to the uninitiated. Actually it serves a fine pur- pose. The waggls at achttress lessens tension, I allowa the player to let off - just enough steam at this point to get in the right frame of mind for the shot. . A keener feel of the clubhead, and the avolitance of a too tight grip are also by-products of this { movement.

Their backs were very more dangerous in attack, and their tackling was always keen.
Outstanding players were Dou- glass, King and Sutherland, while Volunteers were best served
by Thomson, Kennedy and Needham. In the match in which Services' "A" beat Combined Club and Po- lice "A" by 19-0 Keeble and Nel- son were only players to impress in a one-sided game.
The match between Police "B" and the Engineers resulted in the former winning by one goal seur- ed by Nawan Singh.
