ROYAL SCOTS PLAY SIXTH DRAWN GAME OF SEASON

SHARE POINTS

WITH THE NAVY

IN SOCCER TIE

SAILORS FAIL TO KEEP THEIR TWO-GOAL LEAD

(By "Abe")

Giving all the appearances of a better team 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 were held 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 intereating, and oven exciting in the last few moments when the issue was still hanging in the balance,

Though fine keeping on the part| of Duncan thwarted their efforts on several occasions, the Navy forwards had only themselves to blame for not winning full points. In the Inst few minutes, they swarmed all over the Scots goal, but did everything ex- cept put the ball in the net..

Once again the Scots fought back from what appeared a very uncom- promising position to earn a draw, and if they were a trifle lucky in that their defence held out despite the Merce Navy attacks, they deserved to win a point because of the way in which they commenced play in the

second

SIXTH DRAW

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 end.

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.
