Royal Signals v. Bramtoco The team of footballers from the B. A. T. Ca. received their baptism of the season at the hands, or rather feet, of the Royal Signals, who very] kindly stepped into the breach when. the Border Regt. were perforce to} call off their engagement.—The Signals had matters very much} their own way throughout the whole of the game and when the locals did] get near goal there was no one 1 shot in his locker. Carter (4), Oar-vill (2) and Hamerton a one! each, scored for the Signals, who retained a clean slate. The Bramtoco eleven need some forwards who fare not afraid to shoot and a keeper who has some knowledge of the game. It is to be hoped that} they took a leaf from the book of the opposition, who were a well balanced side and possessed a real forager for goals in the person of Set. Carter.
