R. NAVY BEATEN IN LAI WAH CUP COMPETITION

CHINESE WIN IN Scotland Beats England In Fine Rugby Tie

SPITE OF MUCH WEAKENED SIDETI

MANY INJURIES DURING SPEEDY SOCCER MATCH.

(By "Abe")

Despite playing with a vory much weakened team, the Chinese nevertheless managed to de- feat the Navy in the Lai Wah Cup on the Club ground yesterday by four goals to one. The margin of victory rather flattered the Chinese, however; for they were certainly not that much better than the sailors. All the five goals were scored in the second half.

WINNERS' HALF-BACKS IN SPLENDID FORM THROUGHOUT GAME

*(By "Fly-Half")

One of the best games to watch this season was played on the Club ground on Saturday when Scotland defeated England by 19 points (two goals and three tries) to 11 points (a goal, a penalty dropped goal and a try) in the final of the International Rugby Tournament,

short time after this, Boo dummied his way past Askwith and Bidwell to touch down right behind the posts, Watson falled with this surprisingly easy klek. Next, Thomas got off on the Scottish right wing to touch down well out. Watson redeemed himself hy converting with an excellent kick. Bosanquet replied for England with a try scored not many minules before

The Scols certainly deserved their victory as they were superlor in most departments, Doc and Grieve gener- ally outplayed their opposites, Ask- with and Walts. The set scrums were mainly ruled by Egland, for whom Salter hooked excellently. all other departments of forward play, the Scots had the best of things.
