CIVIL SERVICE v. K.L.G.C.
The games in the first division be- tween the Kowloon C.C. and Civit Service at Kowloon and the Kow- loon Bowling Green and Craigen- gower at Kowloon lived up to ex- pectations and provided strenuous contests. K.C.C. won at home and this early success against a team that is tipped for the honours vice C.C. defeated the Kowloon ought to do them a great deal of B.G.C. by IL shots.

The bowlers on both sides were steady rather than brilliant. Waters, of the Royal Navy, who has not played much here, proved to be a find. He is a right-arm, medium- paced bowler with a good length. There was a bad spot which he 21 found consistently and the result was that the ball shot along wick- edly. One of these took Hayward's wicket. Scores -

There is an interesting discus- sion in progress with regard to missed penalties. The majority who have contributed their views on the subject contend that a rond player should never miss from the twelve yards spot.
Only those who have taken penalty kicks know that they are far more difficult to score from than is generally imagined. One of the most successful penalty- takers was R. M. Hawkes, Luton Town's international half-back. He scored 25 successive goals from penalties, and failed with the 26th.
