NAVY FOOTBALLERS TOO GOOD FOR ROYAL SCOTS

SAILORS RETAIN

LEADERSHIP IN Malaya's Dour Tackling Checks Club Team

SOCCER LEAGUE

(By "Abe")

If the Navy play for the remainder of the season as well as they did in the match against the Royal Scots at Causeway Bay yesterday, they need not fear to be dis placed by any team from the top of the First Division foot- ball league table. They won this game by 6-0 and were by far the better side. Had it not been for the good work - of Duncan in the Scots' goal, their score would have ex-

ceeded even this total.

There was a enhesion in the Navy the upper side which save thris hand all the time. The backs and the halves were so dependable that Dickensost in the Navy goal, had very little to do. Certainly he did not have more than two or three shots fired at him, and these were from long range, with little hope of beating him,

With the defence in Buch sate hands, the Navy forwards were able to concentrate colely on attack. The Inside-forwards, Morrill and The- burn, made the openings and the others did the rest. The Navy men were always dangerous in front of goal and Duncan was given a busy afternoon.

SCOTS HESITANT

In contrast to the Navy side, the Scots were hesitant and lacking in Ingenuity. They played far too much negative football, preferring the short-passing gume which against the Drat-tline tackling of the Navy men, failed mistrably. There

FORTUNES FLUCTUATE IN INTERPORT RUGBY GAME ON SATURDAY:

TOO CLEVER

on

Receiving the ball rather late most occasions, the Club threes could not get going. More than one move- meni was frustrated by the Club men themselves by over-eleverness. The cross movement is very clever when it comes off, naturally, but it should not have to be painfully obvious and certainly no attack should be held up to bring it in. Straight passes out to the wings were called for. Stewart, on the Club left wing, was yorda faster than Craigie, who was opposite him, and yet had little chance of showing his pace.

Hutchison's dropped goals were opportune and well taken. They brought very valuable points to his side and on both occasions turned a lead by Malaya into a Club lead Frequently he had to take the ball after one bounce and this considerably held up the Club attack.
