74 LAA BEAT KING'S OWN 14-6 AND WIN A TRIP TO SINGAPORE

By "PAK LO”

Yesterday afternoon in front of a large crowd, consisting mainly of Army personnel, the 74 LAA won a well earned victory over the King's Own by 14 points (1 goal, 2 penalty goals, 1 try) to 6 points (1 penalty goal, I try) in a fast and exciting en counter which often brought the spectators to their feet cheering their heads off.

The cup was presented to the captain of the winning fifteen, Gerrard, by Mrs W. H. Stratton, the wife of the CBF. This is the second time Gerrard has person- ally received this trophy, as his team won it when he did a previous tour out here three years ago.
