BERKS REGIMENT, 2; V. 2ND H.L.I., O.This match was played in the second round of theArmy Cup on Saturday on the Rushmoor Greenground. when the Berb sprung a surprise victory overthe H.L.!. by 2 goals to nil. Both goals were scoredearly in the game. The first came after ten minutesplay as the result of a break.away on the right wing,Ca.tchpole putting over a fine centre which. Davisconverted with a nice low drive. The second was theresult of a corner forced on the left wing, and came afew minutes later, when Overton headed in nicelyafter the goalie had fisted out from Hoare's shot.Up to this period the Berks had the best of the game,and it was only Lee's fine goalkeeping that kept thescoring down. Towards half· time the Highlandershegan to monopolise the play, and the Berks' defencewent through a very hot time. Two corners wereforced just before half· time, but on each oocasion theball was put just wide.The second half was all in favour of the Highlanders,but, try as they would, they could not soore. Severalcorners were forced, and it was in a melee whichfollowed one of these that Hilsdon, the Berks' goalie,was injured so seriously that he was conveyed to hos.pital in a motor. He was charged, and fell up againstIt goal.post with considerable force, and injured hisribs. This happened twenty minutes after the re-start,and Stroud fell back and took his place in goal, and theteam played ten men for the rest of the game. Stillthe Highlanders could make no headway, alt.hough theopportunities offered wel-e very numerous, A dozenor more corners were forced, but they were 'eithercleared or else shot just wide of the goal, and the gameended without further score being made. The teamswere :-"1st R. Berks Regiment.-Hilsdon; Buckinghamand Stroud; Randall, Alsworth, and Welsh; Catch.pole, Overton, Davis, Hoare, and Ruffey.2nd H.L.I.-Lee; Turton and Gibson; Bailey,Thompson, and Duncan; Rogers, Minney, }{unro,Chisholm, and Broce.Aldershot News, 21st November, 191~.SERGEANTS' MESS NOTES.THE lot of a journalist is often cast in strangeplaces, but that of an amateur scribe, andespecially when surrounded by an atmosphereof furlough combined with that of the festiveseason, is an unenviable one, and may, Itrust, be a reasonable excuse for thesehasty lines_ But "to resume," as friendRobey hath it. We are now quite settled inour new establishment, and are quite in linewith our neighbours, for the Mess, thoughsmaller in dimensions than that in Mullingar,is quite {JOBY, and the gardens and rustic seatsshould prove quite a boon in the summer time.Billiards has claimed our attention sincejoining the station, with variable luck. Asmay have been mentioned in the last numberof the Chronicle, we have been greatly in·debted to the members of the Sergeants' Mess,2nd Worcestershire Regt., for their kindnessto us on the dav of our arrival in Aldershot,when they acted as hosts to our families aswell as ourselves, and in a very generousmanner, too. Accordingly it was fitting thatour first social function of the season shouldbe a suitable entertainment to our neighbours,the Sergeants of the 2nd W orcesters. Thistook the form of a Smoking Concert, held inthe Mess on Wednesday, 5th November, andpresided over by Sergt.-MajorFindlay. Afull representation of both the W orcestersMess and our own sat down to the tables,which were very nicely laid out, and at 8 p.m.the toast of "His Majesty the King" was proposedby the chairman, followed by a variedprogramme of song and sentiment, whichlasted to a late hour. Sergt.-Major Ralstonof the W ore esters in his speech was reminiscentof former meetings with us, and echoedthe sentiments of all present when he expressedthe wish that the present meeting would bethe forerunner of many such functions duringthe stay of both regiments in Aldershot. Weopened the dancing season on Wednesday,26th November-as far as our series of dancesare concerned-with a Sergeants' Ball, whichwas held in the Royal Engineers' Theatre,and according to the local press it was quitethe most successful effort of its kind thisseason. The scene that evening was magnificent,and the toilettes of the ladies-- Butthis is not a Society paper. The non-dancingmembers have no excuse now, for a series ofimpromptu dances are being held weekly.By the way, who is the member who is takingprivate lessons on the Tango? SeveralOfficers and their ladies favoured us with theirpresence during the evening. St. Andrew'sDay fell on a Sunday this year, but as patrioticScots we celebrated the occasion on Saturday,29th November, by giving a most successfulSmoking Concert, at which we had the companyof our Officers, besides representatives ofevery unit in the Command, including ou.rcomrades of the Scots Guards. and BlackWatch. Great credit is due to Sergt. Elderand his hard-working entertainment committee,who have so successfully. managed allthe above-mentioned functions. ClSUM.
