NAVY DEFEAT EASTERN AT CAUSEWAY BAY
But Chinese Should
Have Won
SOONG LING SING SHINES
(By "REFEREE”)
Making full use of the few op- portunities which came their way, the Royal Navy yesterday beat Eas- tern Athletic Association by 3 goals to 1 in their First Division League soccer clash much against the run of the play, the Chinese team throwing away golden opportuni- ties in front of goal.
Soong Ling-sing and Han Chiu- to were outstanding among the two teams and should have scored half a dozen goals each, but their efforts were always an inch or two out, much to the satisfaction · of the Navy defenders, who, although they gave a rousing display, cover- ed each other very badly and rare- ly cleared with any thought for where the ball might land.
Wolverson was the mainstay of the defence, and his quick and timely clearances often robbed an Eastern forward in the "area." Chearman was also very hard- working and fed his inside-for- wards with judicious passes, while both Laister and Love,
on the
flanks, did their share of harrass- ing the opposing wingers, although the former was just a trifle too slow for Eastern's left-wing.

England's Team To Meet Ireland

Cheung Kwok-choi shone in Eas- tern's centre-half position, but the majority of his passes were wasted on George Yeung, who was too sty- lish to be effective.
George Yeung opened the scoring for Eastern with an excellent first- timer off a centre from the left-
the wing, but Navy levelled the scores soon after through Wolff. In the second half Ghearman 1 placed the Navy in the lead with a dive from 30 yards, taken from a free kick for an infringement and just be- fore the end Wolff netted from an oblique angle.
