18 HIGHLAND LIGHT INFANTRY CHRONICLE.<br />
.----------------------~-------<br />
quency of corners and free kicks being very<br />
noticeable. Most of the free kicks against<br />
the H.L.I. were for off-side, owing to one of<br />
the Elgin backs lying up very far. About this<br />
time Elgin missed several good chances of<br />
scoring, but eventually they succeeded in<br />
bringing the score to 3-2.<br />
After this success the Elgin team redoubled<br />
their efforts to equalise, and the H.L.I. team<br />
had to play all they knew to keep them out,<br />
especially as they now had to play against<br />
driving snow.<br />
Roberts then got away, and ran the whole<br />
length of the field, but finished weakly.<br />
Eventually Blaikie, who had been putting ill<br />
some useful work, made a fine run, and scored<br />
with a well-directed shot, thus making a<br />
certainty of the result-the scores standing<br />
at 4-2.<br />
From this onwards the game was of a<br />
give-and. take nature.<br />
Time being called shortly after, the H.L.I.<br />
were left winners by 4-2 after a hard game.<br />
HOCKEY.<br />
An excellent game of hockey took place on<br />
27th November on the ground in front of the<br />
Officers' Mess at the Fort, against the Depot<br />
Seaforth' <strong>Highland</strong>ers. After a very wellcontested<br />
game, the H.L.I. defeated the<br />
Depot by 5 goals to 3.<br />
