All the Navy men, however, run hard and straight and Harvey is always dangerous in possession when 10 to 15 yards from the line. If the Club are to stop scoring by the Navy, all move- ments must be stopped at the out- set. by hard and immediate tack- ling.

There was no very good reason why the Press should have lost to Lt. Cmdr. Nicholson's XI at King's Park on Sunday. The position about 35 minutes from close or play was that their fourth and fifth batsmen were in and well- set. Norman Mackay, one of them, was seeing the ball remarkably well and made some fine hits. He look.

partner with this spirit that the latter also started lashing out gally. Not being naturally built for a forcing type of game, he falled to cover a ball to hit which he had come out yards. Lt. Skel- ton behind the stumps whipped the balls off in a flash and that started the rot. The rest of the innings did not last another twenty minutes.

The game was a most enjoyable one. The general atmosphere of King's Park is not always con- ducive to a holiday spirit but the Navy have always been a most cheerful side and when they and the Boys of the Press get together gothing short of a rainstorm could serve as a dampener. >
