Navy and Army Draw

SEM” 'QOTEL”

The Navy-Army brought to a finish on the Club ground yesterday when the Navy won by eight wickets, thanks to a fine knock by Lieut. Larkin who was undefeated, with 49. Lieut. Carver helped with a useful 29, and one feature of the game was that these two players also came off in the first innings. Larkin had| bad luck in the first innings when he just missed the three-figure mark by one run while Lieut. Mar- tin, going in rather rate, made 70.

The Army captain made a sport ing declaration when he applied the closure after they had scored 231 for 9, Capt. Peter Williams was in happy mood and collected 76 runs which included a sixer.

As a result of, the rain, the wicket was dead and the bowlers got no help whatever from "it.
