RETURN RAID
The visitors' neat combination | forward, hit the cross bar to bounce and straight for the goal methods combined with deadly accurate shooting by their forwards and a clever cool, and hard-clearing de- fence made them a team well worth watching.
It was difficult to single out any special player except perhaps, Cheong Wing-choi, the visitors' goalkeeper, Lau Hing-choi, the brilliant pivot and Fung King-cheong, the dangerous in- side right.
The Home team though beaten by a rather convincing margin were by no means outclassed completely.
For the first 15 minutes the Perak team had the better of the game when Delay in they made several raids. passing and poor shooting, however, nullifled their efforts, otherwise they ought to have registered more goals.
Guan Lean and Choi Yoi were stal- wart backs while Toft in goal had a busy time in guarding his charge from the continuous bombardment but made a good job of it.`
Leng Siew, as pivot, distinguished himself playing a grand game. Telk Lean also gave a good display but Ali Manap was disappointing.
Perak made a return raid and Ar- shad who had been prominent sent in a beautiful centre which Siew Hong missed. A spell of midfield play re- sulted and then the visitors broke away again. Lai Shui-wing advanced with- in scoring range and after eluding Juan Lean tested Toft with a stiff drive which the latter saved brilliantly.
The visitors then broke through on the right and a well-placed shot from Tam Kwong-sun saw Lai Shui-wing place a header well out of Toft's reach to register the first goal in the 17th minute.
Barely two minutes later, the visit- ors made another raid and receiving the ball after Toft had punched clear, Fung King-cheung slammed in a spec- tacular goal to enable the visitors to lead 2-0 at the interval.
Play slackened somewhat in the see- ond half, a misunderstanding between Arshad and Siew Hong lost them an easy opportunity when the ball was a few feet from the goal.

effortless header beat Toft.
Three minutes later Lai Shui-wing added the fourth goal after a pretty bout of dribbling.
A LONG SHOT Perak still made spasmodic raids and towards the latter stages, Swee Meng Archunced a long shot which found the
net to earn a well-deserved goal.
Of the forwards, Hack Choom shad and Swee Meng were the pick of the bunch, the last named player scor- ing the only goal for the homesters with a brilliant long shot.
Mr. H. W. Sanders refereed and the teams were as follows:
