The game was full of thrills though it way a one-sided "afair as Army had most of the play territorially in both of the halves.. The Army selection this time was much more considerate than it had been in the past.

The Army has now won the Tournament.

A few minutes after the start 8.) Fowler, the Club right wing, with a solo effort, beat the whole Army defence and scored with a beauti- ful shot. Soon after Nerain Bingh scored the equaliser, and shortly added another goal.

On resumption. as before. the "Army was all dominant and Ave, minutes later Pritam Nath scored.

Partab and Nerain Singh, in

the left flank, with Pritam Nath as the leader, combined excellently and it was a treat to watch them taking the ball time and again to the opponent's territory for Nerain Singh to score his third goal.

The Club was best served by W. A. Reed and-Bund in the defence.

The last minute goal was scored off a short corner by Duita Ram the terrine hitter of Rajputana
