୧୧ Suffer Second Defeat

Incidents That Involved Knowledge Of Rules

Important Game This Week-end

FOR THE INDIANS, their victory over Rocroio "A" in the First Division of the League last Saturday was historic. During their four seasons among the seniors, they have beaton, at one time or another, every other team oxcopt Recreio "A" who have always proved too good for thom. And their success last week was all the more creditable in that it was scored at King's Park.

This was the champions' second defeat this season -a fact which may jeopardise their prospects of retain- ing the championship.

Certainly the race for League honours in the First Division is now very open with at least three teams running neek to neck.

Once before-In 1939-the Indian nearly beat Recreio "A", but the brillance of Carlos Silva on the last head of the day-in foet with the Inst wood-dashed their hopes. In those days the issue was decided on aggregate scores, and when two rinks had finished and A. R. Dallah

and Silva were playing their last head, the teams were on level terms. Dallah's rink laid the shot when Silva was, about to send down his Inst wood. Ile seemed to he well and truly blocked on the only hand that was open to him, but he rolled a beauty which rested on the jack for the winning shot.
