STILL BEAT BRIGADE IN TODAY'S MAIN RUGBY MATCH

By PAK LO

The big match of this afternoon's many rugby games is of course that between the Club "A" and 48 Brigade, both of whom must be considered as top contenders for the Pentangular title. This game will be played on the Army ground in Boundary Street at 3.15 p.m. Following this match the 1st Destroyer Squadron face the Tanks at 4.30 p.m. on the same ground.

Police ground in Boundary Street will also attract spectators for there at 3.15 p.m. the Police face a full- the strength Sappers XV. After this match at 4.30 p.m. Club "B", who have to date proved themselves no mean opponents take on Whitfield Wanderers:
