Wild passing made the game somewhat scrappy. It was fea- tured by speedy runs by Baker, who scored all three tries for the Ack-Ack's, and fine handling and distribution by Carter, Navy fly-half. Page and Heath were joutstanding in the military pack. Baker scored his first try when he intercepted Carter's punt ahead and

ran strongly and touched down in the

corner. This was followed by the 21 second try for the Gunners, after Fairclough had made an opening. Easterbrook majorised with a fine akick, to give the military XV an 0-0 20 lead at the interval.

Mohawks Trounced 10-2 In Exhibition Game

(By "Ball Fan")

IN A DULL GAME in which they were out- played and outmanoeuvred,: Navy lost to South China yesterday at Sookunpoo by three goals to one in their Kotowall Cup encounter. The victors wore at no time seriously challenged and indulged in some clever football.

The Navy team as a whole was ragged and dis- jointed. The inclusion of three new men in their line up did not in the least help matters. As it was, Williams, playing at left half, was unable to do much against the fast combination of Chan Tak-fai and Lee Tak-kee.

There was a very good under- standing in the Chinese team Harry Noronha's fighting all-right from the start which was not so with the losers. Their NAVY secured Arst points when Portugal stars upset the gas-defence were at no time chal-
