The University players pus up quite a good show against the Club XI on the Club ground on Saturday. Batting first, they did well to total 167 for six, and had time allowed an exciting finish might have resulted either way, even though Hancock was going strong when play ter minated.

The R.E. must have been expect ing this all the while, and the realiau tion of their fears, instead of dishearten- ing them spurred them on to further effort Hereafter their display was mark- ed by much greater spirit and vim, and they attacked so furiously that for quite a while the R. E. charge was in peril, The back of the offensive was invariably broken by the hacks, however, and Gibson was rarely anxious. Seemingly realising that all their endeavours would be futile, the Sappers slackened off considerably and the encounter ended somewhat tamely with the R.E, deserving winners The exhibition given by the Gunnery has not been equalled for all round excellence this season.

Mr. F. W. Wright was a very efficient refereo. He had little trouble, for the gamo wag execedingly free from suspicious play right through.

ARTILLERY DEFEAT ENGINEERS,

The Royal Engineers' custodian, Rogers, has played many fine games between the uprights for his side, but he surpassed all his previons performances on Saturday in the encounter between the R. E and the B.G.A. on the Club Ground. He stood, between the Artillerymen and an over whelming victory. There were perioda when the game resolved itself practically into a duel between the Gunners for wards and the goalkeeper, and only on one occasion was the latter beaten. That shot no custodian could have saved, It came fast from the foot of Swan from close range, and went clean through the net The magnificent goalkeeping of Rogers apart, the feature of the game was the truly remarkable shooting of the Gunners. At all ranges and from all angles that one has missed at Happy Valter for some considerable tine, Rogers took them all as they came, high' or low, and cleared his lines with never a slip. Swan, Youngman, and Shakspear were ever shooting, the former with all his old and the latter with fine judg

power ment, frequently on the fly.
