RESULT AGAINST RUN OF THE PLAY

(By "Veritas")

FOR the best part of the match the Lincolns were disconsolately admitting they had those "navy blues," when they met the seamen on the Railway Groud on Saturday, and it was by sheer luck that they loft the arena with a point to their credit.

LITTLE CREATIVE COHESION.

There was plenty of good spoil-, ing work on both sides, but a very much smaller percentage of creative cohesion. Opportunities galore were allowed to go astray, and defences were immeasurably! superior to the attacks.
