VICTORY FOR SPORTSMAN’S BATTALION: 9 POINTS TOO GOOD FOR H.A.C.

“Fall on it.”               The arrival of the grand stand, borne by three “Tommies”               Stand in use.

Though all of the Rugby clubs abandoned their fixtures when war broke out, there have been a number of good Service games which, if not scientifically equal to a Blackheath-Rosslyn Park match, have been at least exciting. On Saturday the H.A.C. played the Sportsman’s Battalion, who won 9 points to nil.
