ALL QUIET ON THE SPORTING FRONT There is little doing in the sporting line these days in camp, as this is the inter-season period of slackness. However, arrangements have been made to start cricket next week, and baseball is also on the way up. In the meantime, assorted P.T. Sergeants, self-consciously sporting shorts and shapely shins, have given the local tennis courts a sound thrashing, and it is hoped that it may soon be possible to arrange a tennis competition, perhaps in conjunction with the Air Force. GOLF GAMBOLS A most enjoyable Sunday was spent early . last month when the Army played the Air Force at golf on the local links. This is something of an innovation in sport in the camp, and was brought about largely by the efforts of Sgt. Arnold Hensleigh. So successful was the day that efforts are being made to secure a return match in the near future. In the morning the teams played fourball, best ball, and Army finished one game up. However, on the whole day, the teams finished up even. Army won the Stableford held in conjunction wth the other matches, wfhen Herbert won on the count-back. Results:— Air Force: Davie (10), Stewart (24), Army: McNamara (24), Hensleigh (10). Morning: Air Force won 4 and 3. Afternoon: Air Force won 4 and 3. Air Force: Ekdale (12), Borsdell (13). Army: Herbert (12), Knowles (24). Morning: Army won, 3 and 2. Afternoon: All square. Air Force: McMurray (16), Drocherie (18). Army: Ramsbottom (18), Sutherland (4). Morning: All square. Afternoon: Air Force, 2 up. Air Force: S. L. Aitken (18), J. E. Aitken (18). Army: Clements (12), Christmas (20). Morning: Army won, 4 and 3. Afternoon: All square. Air Force: Herbert (18), McLean (12). Army: Hayden (7), Muir (16). Morning: Army won, 2 and 1. Afternoon: All square. A splendid day ended with a superb session at the 19th hole, doubtless one of the chief reasons why everyone is So keen on a return match. ROBUST ROTUNDITY How the trembling earth doth shake! Has Tarawera come awake?
No, no earthquake this. Just mark The mighty mass of Charlie Clark.
