Giving all the appearances of a better toam and scoring two goals in the first half, the Royal Navy were foiled by the Royal Scots in a First Division League football match at Sookunpoo yesterday and wore hold to a draw of two goals all.

Play was very scrappy in the initial period, neither side being able to show any scientific football; but in the second half when the Royal Scots began to fight back, the game became much more interest.ng, and even exciting in the last few moments when tho issue was still hanging in the balance,

The Royal Scots' forwards had few opportunities to shine, but when they were in possession they failed to make full use of the ball. Holmes, on the left-wing, was starved, and Munro was far from his best on the other

ARMY'S FIFTEEN AGAINST CLUB Triangular Rugby Tourney Game Deteriorates After A Promising Beginning

(By "Fly-Half"),

In game which promised well at the start only to deteriorate after the injury to Lt. Drew- Wilkinson, the Club defeated the Army by 28 points (two goals and six tries) to three points (a try) in the first game of the Triangular Rugby Tournament series played at Sookunpoo on Satur- day.

A succession of injuries to Army players considerably weak- ened the Club's opposition. During a major part of the game, Army played with only 13 men and it says much for them that the score was kept within reasonable bounds.
