He was given a stiff challenge by Lionel Roza-Pereira, and de- feated his club mate only by a touch, E. B. da Roza, who ap- peared to be intent on acting as pace-maker for the rest of the competitors, lapped the first 50 yards at very fast speed, making the turn a yard and a half ahead of Pereira and two and a half yards in front of Lawrence and H.

Excellent progress was made in the Army tennis champion- ships for other ranks at Soo- kunpoo yesterday, when seven singles ties were played, filling four places in the last eight, and three doubles contests were decided, completing the first and second rounds.

It was one of the finest cham- pionship races ever seen in the Colony.

Roza-Pereira and Lawrence also had the bath to themselves in the 100 yards opon backstroke cham- plonship. The opposition, G. J. Smith, Lee Hon-kee and Leung

ture, and the two V.R.C. stalwarts contested the race in comparatively leisurely style.

It appeared that Lawrence would

gain his second title of the open- ing day's events, but Pereira over took him in the final longth and won with much less difficulty than Lawrence, bad, in the 100 yards free style.

Frank Lammert had little to do on the right wing, while F: W. R. Allen, who is essentially a half- back, was somewhat wasted in the forward line. J. Brasier-Croagh, on the left wing played well and worked hard throughout.

The Club led at half-time by two goals to. nil, both netted by Divett. Early in the second stanza, the Indiana found the net through the centre-forward. However, the civilians attack tho continued to penatrato Indians defence, and Divett added. the third goal, followed shortly by another by MacNidor. A few minutes later, MacNider had bad luck with a fast rising shot that just grazed the cross-bar. To wards the end, Divett found the net to registor the. civilians fifth goal.
