accordance with general expectations, China entered the final of the "Sunday Herald" International Charity Cup at the Club ground
in a draw, each side scoring twice. EASY WIN FOR ARMY yesterday, defeating Scotland by two goals without reply.
With the aid of a very astute, referee, (Mr. A.E.C. Clark) and two equally astute and frolicsome linesmen, the game went with a swing throughout and was considered a very fitting, re- "blood** salt for this type of match.

Scotland put up a tremendously plucky show against a su- perior team. and fully deserved to be on level terms at the in- terval Undergoing severe pressure in the first 10 minutes, the Scottish defence, composed of Rodger, Blackburn and Hill, checked and cleared every thrust of the Chinese, and one of the biggest features of the game was the remarkable lapse in form of Lee Wai-tong, due in no small measure to the fine display of Gorman, the Scottish centre-half.
Rodger was constantly in the limelight, fielding shots from everywhere in his so capable manner, and it was sheer bad luck! that prevented him stopping the first goal
