If one were to take the last two performances of the Club as a criterion of their normal form, one would be forced to acknowledge that they boast the most flattering league record of any team in the first divi- sion. By the same token, accepting the Recreio's dis- play in this match as a guide, one is bound to confess that their position in the table is an insult to the team. It was quite impossible to believe best, but he was against something that the Club ware a team with good which proved to be too clever for prospects of finishing runners-up in him.

The losers were completely method- Icas. The attacks centre round the efforts of Howe and Bickford; the half backs were not only ineffective in defence but showed "no idea, af constructive work. The defence was practically a one-man affair.

In contrast the Recreto forwards played together with delightful under- standing.

This was a very fair result to a keen and well, contested game. More steadiness on the part of the Athletic forwards in the first half would have given them a big lead at the interval, but as the Navy also missed ‹ many chances in the closing stages a division of the spoils was quite satisfactory.
