Saturday night. th6 first half was slow because both teams were play ing on the defensive. When the game lags along, there are many faults to be seen and consequently many had the impression that the Guards were in poor form. The work of the team, every man being taken into consideration. in the sec ond half of the game. was as good as anyone could wish for and victory was well deserved.
