The other outstanding player was Corverly who was castly the fastest and the best forward' on view in this game.

Both packs failed to bind well and the scrums were sloppy.

The Lunes threes were the weak point in their attack with Newell in the centre being badly off form, with the result that the ball seldom reached the wings. For the RAF. Gibson played a good game, and Crouch kept the stmen in the game with his kicking.

Crouch opened the scoring in the 10th minute when he ham- mered a penalty over the crossbar from the touch line da the 25, and then gave the air- men a grand start by repeating the process only a minute lates.
