Chinese Athletic had matters practically all their own way on the Club ground yesterday, when they deservedly beat the Lincolns in their First Division soccer encounter by 3 goals to 1.
The Lincolns were a very poor team; the de- fence played up very well, but the attack was very weak. Higgins, at inside-right, was too well marked to do much and when he had the

THE Police were held to a draw by the Navy yesterday in their premier league soccer fix- ture at Causeway Bay, after a stirring game in which the Navy were the more impressive side, both teams scoring twice. This seriously jeopar- dises to former's chances for the runners-up posi- tion and makes it imperative that they win their remaining game against the East Lancs.
Although having scarcely recovered from their hard game against South China on Satur- day, the Navy, fielding the same side, played splendid football and lasted, the pace far better than their opponents.
In defence, the Navy were again well served by Moss. This left-back gave a polished display of deadly tackling, and his eneral positioning and understanding with his halves gave the Police right-wing pair few opportunities.
