As the score denotes, the match was by no means one-sided. Both teams had plenty of opportunities of scoring, but by dint of skilful play the Navy obtained more open- ings than the soldiers did. Twice the Navy got ahead, and twice the Army drew level, and half-time the score was two each. The win- ning goal was obtained after the second half had been in progress for some time. A number of like- ly movements were initiated by the Army forwards, but the Nayy de- fence proved to be too good for them.
