KOWLOON 2. SMALL UNITS.
Small Units were an improved side on Saturday, and managed to force a draw on the Kowloon ground after an uninspiring struggle. Neither side showed a great deal of ability, but Small Units had rather more of the attack than their op- ponents and, had they possessed a forward with ability to score
would have won comfortably. goals, Kowloon played in very disjointed fashion, Moss and Davies being the only forwards to impress.

Stewart 3.up again,
MacDonald, had far the better drive at Sandy's Pulpit, but his run up got a bad kick and finished right on the edge of the green, Stewart was in trouble to the right, but he played a beautiful little run up for his third and holed the putt, to stand dormy 4. Both were just short of the 15th with their seconda, but MacDonald failed to get a 4 while. Stewart succeeded, to win by and Stewart's score for the full round was 79"
