TOMMY ATKINS'
Army Sports Parade
Out on their own at the top of the Tommy Atkins' -Sports Parade this week are the Army soccer players for their brilliant victory over South China on Sunday afternoon at the Club Stadium.
The players gave a thrilling never-say-dle display and fought back relentlessly to pull the game out of the fire in the closing minutes. One important factor In this win was the obvious fitness of the team and their understanding with each other.
