[By "Wanderer".]
"Two goals” down with twenty minutes to go, the K.O.S.B. made a brilliant recovery against the Queen's Royal Regiment in a Senior League match at Sookunpoo yesterday, and had not Moss brought off two rather fortunate saves, the Queen's may have lost! both points instead of one, Humphreys scored two clever goals to equalise the score.

The struggle for the winning goal was productive of lively football, plenty of thrills being provided at both endła. The standard of the game throughout was extremely high, and I have opt seen it hottered in local fool- ball this season.
For the first fifty minutes, the only obvious weak point in the Queen's side was at outside, left, the remainder displaying capital team work, while even individually their play more than merited a two goals lead. The half-backs relaxed a good deal under the. severe pressure of the closing atages.
For the K.O.S.B., Everest, Me- Glinchey and Humphreys were outstanding. Everest and Barclay had some personal duels which 'created lively interest, and the half-back had by no means, the worst of the deal. He was the strongest player in the K.O.S.B. defence and his daisy-cutting passes were delightful.
