There wasn't a good three quarter movement during the whole of the exchanges and the handling was also of a very poor order on both sides.

Crews, who was included in the Navy side as a try-out was Con spicuous on several occasions with the Navy "threes" and it was through a brilliant cross-kick from near the corner flag that Dibadall was able to touch down their second try.

The majority of trainers were content to give their new subu- some slow work to begin with. Impressive runners among this class were Deemster, Wadebridge, Lion Hunter, Winkfield, Chow Min and Invincible Knight, Wadebridge was particularly good with his mile effort,
