BY "PILAT”.

Though last week-end's soccer programme could not be called very Inspiring, many good games were witnessed. The surprise packet was produced by the lowly-placed ST. JOSEPH'S who held ROYAL NAVY to a draw of one-goal all.

KWONG WAH also put up an unexpectedly stiff resistance and nearly upset EASTERN'S "apple-cart," the latter, after an indifferent start, just scraping through by the add goal in fivo,

DESUĻTORY EXCHANGES It was a ragged Navy eleven that

met St. Joseph's on Sunday and only saved a point by a penalty. The game itself was uninteresting and exchanges were, for the most part. desultory.

That they did not gain full points the Saints had only them, selves to blame. Thelr forwards combined' well together.-though they were inclined to keep the ball too long-but not one of the for- wards possess a "shot" among them and many scoring chances were thrown away by bad shooting. Compared to previous showing Navy's attack présented a SOFTY picture and only the sterling werk of Robinson, Roughley and Britt in defence saved the day for the senior Service,
