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 "Abc")

Giving all the appearances of a better team and scoring two goals in the first half, the Royal Navy wore 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 interesang, and even exciting in the last few moments when the issue was still hanging in the balance.

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

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

econd half.

SIXTH DRAW

This was the Royal Scots sixth draw in ten matches played in the League this season. Their record is now as follows:

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

Their efforts were further rewarded when a free-kick Troin the centre was lubbed into the goal-mouth, and after a melee, during which McAllister was drawn out of his charge, Kane, scored the

During this half, the Navy Inter- mediates were doing good work and had no dificulty in keeping the Scots forwards in check. Dixon, the centre-half, in particular was pro- minent with some splendid inter ceptions, while the backs, Findlay and Fisher,

were very steady. As result, McAllister, In the Navy goal, had comparatively little to do.

(By "Fly-Hall")

In a 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 wenk- 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.
