AGAIN THE YANKS!
The game played at Ouonghi between the Bth Brigade and U.S.LUC. was won by tho former 24-10. Tho marines showed much bettor form than in tho previous game, especially in their forward play. The back line, however, lacked thrust and speed off tho mark. Nevertheless their keen bustling forwards showed that they are picking up tho finer points of tho gone. Their lino out play was particularly good and sone of our forwards could take a lesson from ■their high jumping and quick despatch of the ball to their backs. In tho open, * however, tho quick crisp passing of our back line, interspersed with breaks through and dummies by the inside backs ' decided the issue.
