(By "Line Out”),
The Navy gained their third successive victory over the Club at Rugby on Saturday after
showing all round noon, superiority to gain a decisive victory by four goals, a dropped goal and a try (27 points) to nil. Although the score Indicates n real. overwhelming victory, the Club gave a much better exhibition than previously. Unfortunately Lammert was off form and missed several op- portunities which should have resulted
in scores.
Griffiths and Rigg in the centre played very much better, especially Griffiths, who was always to be seen ding something useful." It was good to see him appronching something bike his old form,

The unexpectedness of Mrs. Litton's defeat in the singles on Saturday was only equalled by the dramatic success of Mrs. Stafford Smith and Mias V. Thomas against Mrs. Tottenham and, Mrs. Litton in the doubles yesterday, In both cases it meant the axit of | reigning champions.
Ever since 1930, Mrs. Litton has held sway as the leading singles player of the Colony, In fact since her defeat by Mrs. Tottenkam in 1929, aho had not sucered a reverse until Saturday, ·
