CHANCE FOR THE POLICE TODAY TO DO SOME GIANT-KILLING

By "PAK LO”

This afternoon it is the famed Army's turn to face up to the re- juvenated Police XV when they meet at Sookunpoo at 4.15 p.m. in what promises to be a hard-fought rugger game. Previous to this the Club and the R.A.F. clash at 3.00 p.m. on the same ground.

It is expected that many spectators will turn up to the second game to see if This week-end the latter have lost the Police can continue their winning streak.

The Welshmen, whose first defeat this was since they returned to Britain from the Far East, were outweighed in the tight scrums, outplayed in the loose and outpaced in the open. They held out well enough for the first half an hour but the Medicals' superiority grew more and more pronounced as the game wore on, and the final score of two goals, a penalty goal, a dropped goal and a try (19
