H.X.F.C. v. H M.8. " TERRIBLE." The result of this match came rather as a sur- prise on the 15th iust., the Navy men defeating the Club by three goals to one. There was the usual large crowd to witness the game, which was played in weather a trifle warm, but other wise favourable. The Club won the toss and elected to play with the sun behind them, de. 4 fending the west oal, Immediately from the kick-off the Terribles displayed a science and method in their play that enabled them to carry the leather at
into Club territory. Russell smartly turned the attack, and Clarke tried a sprint. He was stopped at centre, and a tussle on the wing resulted in a throw-in for the Terribles. The Club's forwards made an attempt to break through, but the sailors' centre-forward had his skirmishing line well in hand, and defeated this object. The first goal of the match was shortly afterwards notched by the visitors. It was practically a gift goal. Russell, of all men, giving it away. Kicking out from near the corner-flag. he skyed the leather, which fell in front of and about twelve yards from the Club's goal. The Terrible's contre-forward was on it like a bawk, and sent in a stinging shot that found the net, Kew having no chance whatever to negotiate it. The sailors were playing an excellent game. their combination work being amongst the best yet seen in Happy Valley.. Though not really speedy, their foot-work was so tricky as to easily discount the sprinting abilities of such a player as Lowe, and frequently they almost "walked" the ball up the field. Their defences were also putting in a splendid game. The Club, on the other hand, seemed to be quite lost. Their forwards were playing anyhow, and the only really good man amongst the halves was Bonnar. Russell, except for the giving away of the first goal, played solidly, as also did Kew in goal. An opportunity to score a second point was rather badly muffed by Butler, the Terrible's outside left, whose effort was greeted with the sarcastic query from a bluejacket amongst the spectators "Did you think you was playing ping-pong, Butler? Clarke tried to equalise for the Club with a long shot from the left wing, but topped the bar. Butler, was now showing up well and gave the contre-forward a nice chance to shoot. As with Clarke's try, the ball went over the bar. A determined bombardment of the Club's goal presently followed, and when the excitement ran highest a lightning shot was sent in. Kew leaped up and stopped it, but just inside the cross-bar. The margin was so narrow that it was difficult to decide whether the ball had really gone through, but the referee's decision to grant the goal was un- doubtedly a just one, and was greeted with cheers. The Terrible's third goal was the softest of the entire match, no attempt being made to st p the inside left man when he shot. In the second half the Club played mach better, and the game consequently was evener. They were successful in scoring one goal, but with this they had to be content. The Terrible's
score remained unaltered.
Result-H.M.S. Terrible, 3; H.K.F.C., 1. Mr. Cook, of the Terrible, was referee.

"TERRIBLE.'
This match was played in Happy Valley The no the 17th inst., starting at 4.45. Officers kicked off facing a declining sun, and took the leather into Club territory. The attack was not formidable, however, and was easily turned. The first try fell to the visitors, who sent in a shot that wont nowhere near the mark. A strong wind occasionally fanned the field, and this may have accounted for the fluke. The ensuing play was very slow, neither side exhibiting much skill, and there was a happy- go-lucky element in the game that had its seque! in the awarding of a penalty at the Officers'
The "A" team scored. goal, from which visitors almost managed the equaliser soon afterwards, a neat fisting-out by Bevan, the custodian, just saving the situation. The play brightened somewhat, and the first indica- tion of this came in the shape of hard shot from A " team's left wing which was smartly punted out. Taking the leather to the other end, the Officers tried twice in succession to outwit Bevan, but he easily rose to the occasion, and had the satisfaction of seeing his territory cleared. Only for a brief space, however, for the Officers' left wing got on the leather and covered ground in splendid style. Centred cleverly, the ball was taken up by the inside right and netted. Play was very even and possessed so marked a regularity and alternateness in the matter of visits to the respecti e goals as to suggest pre-arrangement! One minute from half-time the ground team played "out of turn" and got a second goal.
Cros ing over, the lab led off with an attack on the Officers' right wing, which was met so successfully as to see the ball taken right up to Bevan's post by the centre-forward. Five yards from a perfectly opet goal he shot, but Bevan's ready hand met the leather and sent it clear. Following this, “A” team had two suc- cessive ties for goal, but each time went to the wrong side of the post. A slight advantage was now lying with the ground men, who frequently called on the Officers' custodian, but always found him at home; on occasions, too, by way variety, thay "potted" an admiring group of Chinese boys squatted on one side of the goal-line who would persist in laugh- ing when there was apparently nothing to laugh at. The game, however, provided good exercise, and ended in a win for “A” team by 2 goals to
A draw would have been more satisfactory.

CHALLENGE SHIELD-SEM.-FINAL TIE, 'A" and "H" Companies of the Royal Welsh Fusiliers made an unsuccessful attempt to decide their tie in the Shield competition on the 18th inst., the game, after one hour and a half's play, ending in a draw of one goal all. "H" Co. kicked off from the East end against the sun, but This was "A" Co. made the first attack. checked by a foul throw on the part of their right half-back, but they worked down toward "H" Co.'s line again and two long shots at goal were attempted, the second of which might have been effective had there heen a forward up to tip the ball is. A foul against their opponents brought “H” Co. no relief, for after a combined run by "A" Co.'s forwards ended in the ball coming across from the opposite wing to the inside left, who scored with a fine shot. The leaders con- tinued to press, their forwards being very fast, and had their shooting been as good as their general dash should certainly have scored. The game was all theirs and H" Co., who started fairly warm favourit s, looked in for a beating. Moreover, when "H" made an effort a couple of fouls against them spoilt any chance they might have had. At this point Mr. Cook, the referee, stopped the game to instruct the halves on the right method of throwing in, foul throws baving been remarkably frequent. After up and down play a bad foul by one of the "H Co. players in his own ground gave Co. an opportunity, but the ball was headed over. The favourites, however, were beginning to have a little more of the play, which was more of a give-and-take character than before. Then a misfortune befel the green-and-white team, for a forward was injured and left the field unable to take any further part in the game. Curiously enough, this had hardly happened when the four "H" Co. forwards, worked the ball up the ground and from a
