THEY CAME - THEY SAW - THEY CONQUERED.
An. excellent exhibition of soccer was given last Sunday, when a visiting Navy team beat a Regimental eleven, 6 -2. From the outset the visitors showed such. a marked superiority in footwork and control of the ball that they were able to bring themselves into an attacking position whenever they wished, and, with little difficulty, could probably have doubled their score. Our team did not have the experience, of the V-c itlng team, and, conaiderinc their lack at practice put up a good show against overwhelming odds. ■ We thank the Navy boys for the game and look fa? ward to a promised exktib--ition match between two of their ' -■ teams at an early date.. We hope to alter the ’’They conquered” part of the above heading this Sunday when the Navy are sending two teams to play us, not at soccer, but t a game more in our linn - Rugger#
