FLIGHT, FEBRUARY 27, 1931 -\w a t his pass, Wood seemed not at all well placed, fornr "° was no olear path to the goal. But he started to jink*fr<; snipe- Man after man of the Air Force went for himd seemed -ixrat to bring off a successful tackle. But there - no force in the arms which pawed at Wood's waist andTes He sapped through them and went on. It ought not have happened, and it was an astonishing thing to watch,v,°it it was certainly a brilliant piece of work by Wood. He nded up with a fourth try in a very good position, from•vhich Goring had no difficulty in placing a goal. This brought tie Navy'F score up to 16—0. In the last few minutes, Bader broke through and took,, t, ball up to the Navy's 25. A free kick to the Air Forcelid not find touch, and ground was lost as a result. The anal incident of the game was another run by Ford, who•\a- only bundled into touch just in time to save another ure. Scotland might do worse than try Ford in the doubtful,ice at right centre against Ireland next Saturday. He is a rv strong runner, and his defence is very much better thanat of G. P. S. Macpherson.
