Mur- phy ran out and blocked his shot, which was taken up by Clark, but sent to the outside of the post. Getting well away, the R.A. forwards now paid at visit to Kew, who, running out to save, left his goal unprotected. Caldwell got the pass and sent in 籍 stinging ground ball which must have gone through had not Bonnar filled up the rap left by Kew and kicked clear. Give-and-take play followed, characterised only by the frequency of free kicks for foul shies, the K.A. being the principal offenders. The Club was now at its full strength, Jenkins having put
in an appearance. The R. A. were manoeuvr-
ing in contre when Danby captured cleverly and almost immediately relinquished to Clark, who, after a smart run up the wing, sent in a hard, low ball that found the net Play all along had been excellent on both sides, and the Club was lucky in scoring. Phinn, who gave such a splendid account of himself last year, captaining the Siege Train team that won the Shield, was playing a fiue game, but he had old opponents to meet in Russell and a few others, and time and again was turned away disappointed.

"H" Co. kicked off, defending the west goal, and from the start showed a super- iority in attacking, that invariably confined play to "C" Co.'s territory. Three corners came in succession at this end of the field, none, how- over, being converted. Evans was having a very lively time, but he responded gamely, and won appliuse by his nest punting out of a shot which whizzed over the heads of the defences and looked like finding the net. "C" Co.'s forwards were slow in getting away, and left most of the work to their halves and backs, who played a good game. After repeated tries "H Co. at last found an opening, Pugh taking the ball up the wing and shooting cleverly into the net. Another goal in their favour followed half-a-minute later, but was disallowed. 'H Co.'s halves were playing splendidly, and kept "C" Co.'s forwards well in check. The backs, when the ball came their way, showed equal ability, and between the two defence lines the forwards were kept well fed. Score at half time-" H" Co. 1; "C" Co., ().

His shot was a hard one and whizzed into the net beyond all possibility of Murphy stopping it.
