LEAGUE CRICKET

KCC At Home To The Army North In Today's Most Attractive Game

By "GOOGLY”

Army South will be playing two games this week-end and will be the Arst team in the Senior Division to complete their first round League fixtures. It is hoped that other teams take this lead and play off their outstanding games. There will be three to four week-ends free for the outstanding gumes to be played before the second round commences on January 8, 1955.

TWO QUESTIONS IN EVERY RUGGER FAN'S MIND THIS AFTERNOON

By "PAK LO”

There are two questions in the mind of every rugger fan today. These are:-Can the Navy beat the Army? and Can the Police, now im- proving with every game, overcome the Club? The answer to these two posers will be reached this afternoon when the Army and the Navy clash at 3.00 p.m. on the Sookunpoo ground, and the Police and Club meet at 4.15 p.m. at the same venue.

Whatever the results of the two matches should turn out to be, these should In both provide two of the best games in the whole Pentangular Tournament. games the teams for various reasons will be going all out to win, and there should be some spectacular rugger.

The most interesting game down for this afternoon should be the one between a last Army North and KCC at Cox's Path. Last week KCC managed to snatch 'minute draw from the Army South and gain a lucky point,
