Russian Regiment Not One Loss Suffered In Volleyball Campaign

By virtue of defeating the Navy Y.M.C.A. by a score of two nil Monday night, the Russian Regiment completed the season's campaign in the tenth annual Foreign "Y" Invitation Volleyball League with sweeping success, winning each of their six victories after two rounds of contest.

The Navy team, starting off the league in poor form and losing al: the three matches in the first round, came back with a fine surge that pulled them out of the cellar position.

In the first game, as a result of a slow start on the part of the Russians, Navy "Y" had a glorious chance io upset the tables but the players blew up towards the close to enable their opponents to overtake them and finish winners. Through fine smashes by Cheng and' Hathaway, the Nav men succeeded in holding the Regi ment down. The score was extremely close as the ultimate winners were not given the opportunity to be aggressive. From an early deficit of 5-3, the Navy side pulled up to 5-4 and then twice tied the score, 7-7 and 8-8.
