WASEDA FOOTBALL TEAM'S EASY WIN
COMBINED CHINESE
SCORE FIRST
JAPANESE BRILLIANT
IN BALL-CONTROL KAWAMOTO'S EIGHT GOALS!
Shanghai, April 23.
WASEDA University's visiting soccer
side
scored their second consecutive victory yes- terday when they trounced the Combined Chinese Universities' team by ten goals to one. Very few spectators were on hand to see the Japanese over- whelm their opponents, as it was not generally expected that the match would be played, owing to the state of the turf and the steady drizzle of the past few days.
With the ground in its water-logged condition, both sides gave a very creditable performance, with the Japanese making the best use of the conditions to score five goals in each half.
It was the Combined Universities side, however, who opened the scoring, T. S. Lai, the inside-left taking a through pass to beat Sano, the Waseda keeper with a low swerving shot into the left-hand corner of the net.

PLAYERS FOR THE
FOREST TEAM –
The protest lodged by the Cen- tral British Association against an ineligible player having being in- cluded in the Radio Sports Club hockey team which won the Mamak Tournament Championship last Thursday by defeating the G. B. A. was dismissed by the Executive Council of the Tournament at meeting in St. Andrew's Church Hall yesterday....
The protest stated that Channan Singh, who had played right back was ineligible because he had pre- viously played in a match for the Kowloon Indian Tennis Club "B" team against the Argonautas.
Mr. Guest, Captain of the Radio XI, explained that Channan Singh had been a member of the Radio Club at the time he played for the KIT.C. He had been standing by the touchline before the match be gan, and as the K.I.T.C. were man short, he was asked to join in. Channan Singh had played in match for the Radio prior to this, and in two games after it.
