NIGHT'S RUGBY TRIAL

Services Score Comfortable 25-0 Win Over Civilians

By “PAK LO"

After watching last night's trial match between the Civilians and the Services, which incidentally the Services won by the very comfortable score of 25 points (2 goals, 4 tries, 2 penalty goals) to nil, it was fairly simple to pick out the players who automatically deserved Colony status.

First and foremost was O'Kelly, who even outshone Leppard at full back, but with Gilbertson playing a very disappointing game it would be much more sensible to Others to definitely move O'Kelly to fly half and leave Leppard at full back. deserve selection were Robertson, Wynn and Muntz, O'Donnell, Busby and Pen-

Although Sachem made up much of the lost ground in remarkable style, the favourite, four-year-old with excellent flat race, form, had established a winning advantage at the last jump.

Sachem is not the best hurdler in France, but he is deinitely one of the top tow and his race on Feb. 2 was much more encouraging than the final trial of Tout Ou Rien before he came over to finish third to Morry Deal a year ago.
