SOUTH "CHINA BEAT ATHLETIC
CHINESE DERBY
The senior games on Saturday were very important. South China kept their place at the head of the table by a brilliant win over their rivals, the Athletic.
The Police went down to the Navy and the League champion- ships is still in a sporting state. The junior results went much as expected, the Navy by a smart win over the Somersets, main taining their fine record at the head of the table.

Result:-

Comments on the Game The Athletic did not look like winning from the kick-off. Al though South China played several reserves (the inside right having played in the former junior game) they were more assertive. Suen and Chen, the crack wing, were well held by Leong Yin-chiu, and Lai Wal- koon could not get his usual. dainty touches in because of the attentions of Leong Wing-tak and Leung Wing-chiu, Pau in South China goal gave a brilliant display against his old Club-mates and Li Tin-sang and Lau Mau at full back.played strong games,

CHINESE ATHLETIC v. SOUTH CHINA
A Gruelling Garne Before a great crowd at the Club ground, Happy Valley, the visitors from Caroline Hill in the local Derby won well by 3 goals to 2 in a thrilling match. At the interval South China led by two goals to nil, but the Athletic, by great forward play, reduced the lead and at one time looked like making the match a draw. How ever, high-class defence by Pau in goal and Li Tin-stang at right full back kept the Athletic out and South China won on their merits by the odd goal in five.
Teams:-
K.O.S.B. v. KOWLOON
Played at Sookumpoo, this match: resulted in a well-deserved victory for the KO.S.B. They played a scientific game and were unlucky not to win by a bigger margin. Kowloon played hard, but their lack of combination prevented them from becoming reaily dangerous.

NAVY V. POLICE
Owing to the big counter attraction on the Club ground there was only a moderate atten- dance at Caroline Hill for this match. Play never reached a very high standard, neither of the forward lines being up to their usual form; but this was Jargely due to the excellence of the respective defence,
The teams lined up under Mr. Stokes as follows:--
Police:-Clarke; Wynne, Muir: Brittain, Oram, Jesson; Pile, McGreavy, Fraser, Howarth, and Shepherd.
Navy Spiers; McGregor, Jones; Prior, Farlowe, Aldred; Van Tromp, Firth, Hessell, Ker- nick, and Preston,
Play commenced in a desultory fashion, neither side being able to make such headway against the despoiling work of the respective hall-backs. The Police were the first to threaten through Shep herd and Howarth and the former lobbed over a beautiful centre which Fraser headed just wide.
