Grune was not in the game on account
of indisposition.
Infantry had much shaken-up
team. Two of the regular eleven have
left for the States and one is in the
hospital.
Throughout the game the soldiers
shaped well and played hard. They
are improving and will continue to do
SO as they become better acquainted
with the fine points of the game.
Diamond Heads put the ball through
three times in the first-half, Fernan-
DEE, Fiddes and Woo all doing the
needful
The second half was comedy OF
errors in which Fernandez shared. He
took shot after shot at goal and the
more he shot the worse he performed.
Early In the second half the Infan-
