ASSOCIATION RALLY
IN SECOND HALF
(By “REFEREE')
In spite of a great improvement in the Hong Kong Football Association team after the interval, Hong Kong Chinese Amateur Athletic Federation won the first game of the Governor's Cup competition by goals to 3 before a large crowd.
Both sides were forced to make several changes. Bright and Honni- ball were brought in at right and left- half respectively, in place of Wikin-

wards. Fowler, on the right wing, was good in spasms but he spoiled many chances by slowness in passing.
The Chinese were far the better team in the first half and but for the good work of Hendy and Sheehan they would have held a bigger lead at the interval than 4 goals to 1.
Williamson had his first real test against Lee Wai-tong and did as well as could be expected.

Bradbury, inside-right, play- ed better in the second half when she went to centre-forward, while Miss S. Russell was more impressive as inside- right than at centre-forward. Mrs. Herrington did well in goal and saved "y" a point. Miss E. Woolley was the only dangerous C.B.A. forward, and she required very close watching. Mrs. Mackay, formerly of Seaforths' Ladies, was a bulwark in defence, her hard- hitting being one of the features of the game.
Miss Marr again gave a dazzling dis- play for H.K. Ladies, and opposing left- halves are in for fireworks if I am not mistaken. Possessing not only speed and ball control, she flashes across perfect centres. Miss Gray was very sound in their defence, while for C.B.S. Miss J. Moss excelled at cen- tre-forward, Miss B. Goodwin was very reliable in defence and Miss S. Rousseau did well at right-half.
