ROYAL ARMY MEDICAL MESS AND GAMES

NOTICE.

CORPS CENTRAL COMMITTEE.

THE Committee, considering it highly desirable that, ultimately, all officers of the Corps should become subscribers to tbe Central Mess Fund, will make recommenda­tions on the lines stated below (with possible additions to be published later) to the Annual General Meeting, which will be held in June next on the day of the Corps Dinner. Any officer desirous of submitting propositions connected with this Fund should send a statement of them to the Honorary Secretary before May 1, 1914. Such proposals should be accompanied by the names of proposer and seconder. If there is no valid objection to their discussion at the meeting they will be published in the June number of the CORPS JOURNAL.

The following are the recommendations referred to above :-(1) That all officers joining the Corps after March 1, 1914, who wish to become

subscribers to the Central Mess Fund shall pay an entrance fee of £5 58. and thereafter an annual SUbscription equivalent to one half of one day's pay of their rank and service, at British rates, on March 1, at which date their subscription shall be due in advance. (The above proposal is based on the fact that at present a young officer on joining pays £2 to the London mess, £2 16s. at Aldershot, and afterwards joining contributions to other messes at home and abroad. In days gone, by, when the officer on probation drew 8s. a day, instead of 14s., he paid £5 5s. at Netley, and other contributions elsewhere.) .

(2) That all other officers on the active, half-pay, and retired lists shall become

'Officers who have specially excluded the ,annnal dinner in the allocation of their subscription will of course be excepted.

members on payment of the annual subscription only. (It will be remembered that at the last Annual Meeting a resolution was adopted" that officers on the retired and half· pay lists be eligible as subscribers to the Fund, and that their annual subscription be at the rate'of one half of one day's retired or half·pay of their rank. That messes be invited to accord the privilege of honorary membership to such subscribers.")

(3) Quartermasters will be considered honorary members of the Oentral Mess Fund without the payment of an annual subscription.

(4) That officers subscribing as above and the honorary· members tbere mentioned shall be relieved of all joining contributions to messes (including those paid on pro· motion), the payment of such to be a charge on the Oentral Fund. '

(5) That, as a tentative measure, such payment be made every quarter from the Oentral Fund, on requisition by the honorary secretaries of the various messes. ,

(6) That no increase in the existing rate of joining contributions be made without reference to the Oentral Mess Oommittee; and that the case of those messes which impose no joining contribution be specially considered.

(7) That the above payments from the Oentral Fund take place, retrospectively, as from March I, 1914. Such joining contributions as may have been paid to messes between that date and the receipt of these resolutions be refunded direct to the members by the Honorary Secretary, Oentral Mess Oommittee, on production of a voucher.

NOTES ON GAMES AND SPORT. Association Football.-Serjeant-Major Drury, Hon. Secretary R.A.M.O. Football

Club, writes from Aldershot: "As stated in the last notes, we drew with Bromley on February 14 in the 3rd round Amateur Oup. We protested and won our case. The replay was ordered by the Association to take place at Aldershot on the 21st ult., and after a brilliant display of football on both sides we won by the excellent margin of 6 goals to 1.

" Before going further I should like all to know that our protest was based on the fact that the game was not finished ·on the first occasion. Nearly all the papers stated we protested because our opponents were ten minutes late turning out in the field. At the inquiry the Referee stated: 'On the day of the match he was not aware that extra time had to be played in the event of a draw, but even if he had known, the light would not have permitted the game to finish on account of the Bromley team turning up ten minutes after time.' .

" On February 25 we were to have met the Oonnaught Rangers in the Aldershot Senior League, but they scratched to us after our team were in the field.

"On February 28 we met Barnet and Alston in the 4th round English Amateur Cup, and after a well contested game, on the worst ground we have ever played on, we won by 3 goals to 1,

"On March 4 the team travelled to Oolchester, and were accommodated at the Military Hospital at that Station. (The Committee would like to take this opportunity of thanking the officer in charge, Serjeant-Major Genese, Quartermaster-Serjeant Le Poidevin, Serjeant Blundell, and the Hospital staff for their kindness and hospitality on that occasion.) The next day we met the 1st Hampshire Regiment in the' Fatal Fifth' round Army Oup. This we lost by 5 clear goals. Our wing men, who depend upon their speed were handicapped by the small size of the ground.

"On March 14 we met Bishop Auckland in the Semi-final English Amateur Oup at Stockton-on-Tees, the result being a goal.less draw. It was the finest exhibition of football given this year by the team.

"The following paragraph from The Sports Gazette, Bishop Auckland, dated March 16, sums up the game in a few. words :

" , The game was a very:fine one, fought in the most sportsmanship fashion by both sides; true there were failures by players on both sides, or goals would have been scored, but when the play is· taken as a whole it is certain the result was a fitting one to a stirring and interesting contest. Both goalkeepers acquitted themselves splendidly.' .

"The Oorps team was defeated at Watford on the 21st inst. in the replayed semi­final round of the F.A. Amateur Oup Oompetition by Bishop Auckland (3-1). Oorporal Prince and Private Morris have been chosen to play for the Army in England v. Army in Ireland.

"We have withdrawn from the Aldershot Senior League, as the Oentral Oommittee only gave' us up to the 14th of March to complete our fixtures; this meant six matches in seven days with the Amateur Oup Semi.final thrown in. We regretted we were compelled to adopt this procedure."

Rugby Football.-Lieutenant J. L. Huggan, playing for the Army against the Navy, had a large share in the victory of the former by 4 goals and 2 tries to'l goal and 3 tries, as the following extract from the Times of March 9 will show ;-

" Broadly, it was a game between the Army forwards and the Navyhalf.backs, where the balance was even; it was turned in favour of the Army by a wing three­quarter back, J_ L. Huggan, who played the finest game in his career. His unerring fielding of the ball and his determination to get through were reminiscent of the play of V. H. M. Ooates last season. He is not fast, but avoids a tackle in his raking, ugly stride by calling forth extm pace when required. His cross-kicking, which he used just at the right times, was as accurate as that of T. W. Pearson, who perfected, if he did not invent, this manamvre in the early '90's. He was playing outside to R. M. Scobie, the Scottish International, and one may surmise that he will be included in the Scottish side against England in the match for the Oalcutta Oup in a fortnight's time."

Lieutenant J. h Huggan played for Scotland v. England in the recent match. Golf.-The following notice has been received from the Hon. Secretary, Army

Golfing Society, who would be glad to receive the names of any officers wishing to join the Society.
