TRIANGULAR TOURNEY

HOCKEY MATCH

Army Defeat Navy

By

Four Goals To Two

· LT. PRITAM NATH BRILLIANT

Right from the bully-off the Triangular Tournament hockey match between the Navy and the Army at King's Park yester- day resolved itself into the question of whether the Navy de- fence could keep out the virile Army attack. The extent to which they failed is reflected in the score.

For their 4-2 victory the Army had to thank the Rajputana Rifles, the whole forward line being made up of players from this Regiment. They combined together splendidly and though. once or twice over-eagerness in the goal-mouth prevented what - otherwise would have been a certain goal, the understanding was on the whole excellent.

The Army defence had very little to do till well within the second half. At the beginning they dealt with what came their way swiftly and effectively, but towards the end, probably as much because of their enormous lead and the fact that the Navy forwards were exert ing considerable pressure, they got a bit slack. and some faulty work between Datta Ram and Sapper Swanson was largely responsible for the Navy's Arst goal. This is in no way meant to belittle Lleuten- ant Whitworth's fine shot.

EXTREME CRUELTY

A tale of extreme cruelty was told by a six year old child, Lau Yuet, before Mr. R A. D. Forrest at the Central Magistracy yester- day when Fung Ching, 32, married woman, was charged with assault- ing a juvenile.

Replying" intelligently and clear- ly to the questions. put her by the Magistrate through the interpre- ter, the girl described how after accusing her of stealing eatables, the

woman, whom she called "mother," had burned her face with the lighted end of a piece of paper and had kicked her in the chest,

Inspector H. W. Fraser of the Secretariate for Chinese Affairs shid the girl had been presented to the defnedant by her father and would now return to the lat- ter. This was not the Arst such case and he had been instructed to ask that a very serious view be taken.

His Worship imposed sentence of six months", hard labour.

TRAFFIC MISHAP

A slight collision between two vehicles occurred in the Central district last night. According to a police report taxi No. 565. was being driven from Pedder Street into Chater Road when it collided with car No. 4411. driven by Mr. Locke, of the P.W.D., which was backing out from the car park. The mudguards of both ears were slightly damaged.

ANOTHER RECORD

Bonneville Salt Flats, Nov. 3. Captain George Eyston, the British racing motorist, yesterday broke the twelve-hour speed re- cord at an average speed of 163.08 miles an hour..

THE LOSERS

Six minutes after half-time, Whitworth selżed on the oppor tunity created by Spencer and opened the Navy's account with a nice shot. Shortly after Lieut. Pritam Nath almost added a fourth goal to his tally but was pulled up in the act of shooting for off-side.

The last few minutes saw the Navy definitely on, the aggressive and it came as no surprise when Whitworth took a pass from Donald and further reduced the arrears for his side.

He turned up late to find his side already two goals in arrears and himself failed to settle down, to his usual game, though there were one or two bursts of brilliance from him. The rest of the Navy side, all officers. by the way, were more or less bottled up and Sub-Lieut. Ward in goal made a few bad mistakes.

THE PLAY Within ten minutes of the start the Army were two goals up. Both of these had practically come off Lieut. Pritam Nath's own stick. For the first he dashed through on his own at a speed which prevent- ed any attempt to catch him up and the second was the result of a" clever interception and a shot- made with remarkable judgment | through a cluster of players in the goal-mouth. Within ten minutes the centre-forward had scored again, this time from a nice right- wing pasa.
