H.K. INTERPORT HOCKEY XI WILL POSSESS SOUND ATTACK
BUT DEFENCE NOT
SO SURE
NEIGHBOUR AND NOLAN DO WELL
INSIDE-RIGHT PROBLEM
(By "REFEREE”)
YESTERDAY'S hockey trial proved quite con-
clusively that Hong Kong will be able to field a really good attack against Macao next Satur- day, but that the defence is not by any means perfect.
Awtar Singh chose the wrong day to be off form, and I shall not be in the least bit surprised if Sub-Lt. Wraith of the Navy or Sanargat Singh of the Radio does not replace him at inside-right, thus making the Hong Kong forward line G. E. R. Divett, Sab- Lt. Wraith or Sarnargat Singh, G. Singh, Lt. Burch and La Singh
The half-back line should be M. H. Hassan, W. A. Reed and Alaf Din, while the full-backs will probably be A. E. P. Guest and LL-Comdr. Broome, although both were unimpressive yesterday. Of two poor goalkeepers on display yesterday Ramzan was the better, and will probably be selected.

UNCONVINCING, WIN
FOR S. CHINA “B”
LYEMUN FRITTER AWAY OPPORTUNITIES
TEMPERS BECOME FRAYED
(By "Rover").
SOUTH China "B" gained a very unconvincing victory over the Artillery (Lyemun) in their premier League soccer clash at Caroline Hill yes- terday, scoring two goals in the last five minutes to give them a 4-2 win.
The game was not played in the best spirit, petty fouls being all too prominent, especially by the Chinese, and, with tempers rising, the not unexpected climax came when Huggins was order- ed off for striking Yeang Shui-vick,
Slowness was a great fault with the Gunners. They mono- polised the majority of the play as the result of worked out approach movements, but failed badly near goal.
Edmunds, a lively inside-left. scored both goals for the Artillery, and with Brown and Rivers constituted most of the threat to South China. Neither Nash nor Sparkes could make much headway against the relentless tacking of the Chinese halves, though the former found his feet during the latter part of the game, and sent across several well-placed passes.
