UNITED SERVICES LEAGUE- DIVISION II

SUBMARINES Y D.O.LI. RESERVES 15- It is early yet to talk of league championships and probable holders, but it certainly looks at present as if the two clubs above named will be well in the running for honours when next April comea round. At the Commencement! of the game the sides were respectively second and first in the league table, and everything looked promising for a fast, din-dong struggle. Practi- cally the whole of the 2,000 visitors to the Happy Valley lined the pitch when roferee Williams brought the elevens smartly to attention as follows:

Bubmarines:-Cooke, Dance and Ros sen; Granger, Fickovanes, and Ashby

Simmonds, Harris and

Batterham; Ferris and Lyons.

D.C.L.I. Reserves: Fitzgerald; Childs and Drew. Bartlett, Holines, and Withers; Hughes and Davies; Dean Newbold and Buck

The game started at race pace, each end being quickly visited, principally by means of very nippy wing play. Indeed, the ball all through the first moiety was very much in the vicinity of the touch lines, with the sailors possibly showi the better footwork in this department. Childs and Drew, however, were safe and alert, and, if they could not kick so fur as Dance and Rossen they always managed to scramble, wriggle, or push the leather towards their waiting van- -guard.

This really was the keynote of the 70 minutes perfomance, Every man on the field was a trier and only one goal came before the half-way halt was called, and Dean claimed this for the Gravel- crushers. It was a brilliant solo effort that just came off, for Cooke got the ball but could not quite-stop it from erossing the lines
