When H.M.S. Bruco ateams out of the harbour on Tuesday, Decem- ber 15, she will carry with her no less than six first division foot- ballers; and they are going Home. From the Navy soccer ranks will be missing Baxter, versatile winger who is just as much at home on the left an on the right, Bowers, clever, intelligent and debonair centre-half, Cannell, foraging, goal-scoring centre-for- ward, Gardnor, hard-working left! half, Hills, resolute right back, Wearmouth, former first team in- side forward.
