NAVY'S LATE RALLY FAILS AGAINST KWONG WAH

Unable to Recover From Lapse in First Half

TWO OUT OF THREE PENALTIES MISSED

(By: "Tinker")

If only for their determined efforts in the second half, the Royal Navy, perhaps, deserved a point in their First Division soccer inatch at Boundary Street yesterday, Kwong Wab, after a 4-2 lend at half-time, finally won 6-4. The game was not devoid of thrills. The Navy side were pretty ragged in their kicking and passing in the first half, but when Kwong Wab went into a 5-2 lead almost immediately upon the recommencement, they took the play almost continually into the enemy territory and at times swarmed the Kwong Wah goal. It was only a minute or two from the end that during one of these concentrations Kwong Wah got the ball away and swooped down into an almost deserted half of the field and put the issue beyond doubt.

War Brings Premature End to Home Season

(By "Birdie").

For the second time in 25 years, a golf season has been breugfit to a prenature end at Home. In 1914 Harry Vardon was Open Champion, and remained so unilt 1920. There was no championship in 1910, but to cele- brate the vietory in the war a tournament for the "Professional Golfers' Championship" was held at St. Andrews, and the fri alxty persons who fushed in the Open in 1014 were invited to compete. Abo Bitchell and George Duncan tied with scores of 31%, and for the gold medal they agreed to decide on their scores in the Eden Tournament, which was played the following day.
