After leading by the odd goal in three, until Hyat (2) and the last 20 minutes, Police had bad luck to lose Chan Kwong-yu through an injured ankle and during his temperory absence Eastern equalised This so inspired them that they netted two further goals in the last 10 minutes to win by 4 goals to 2 in the Senior Division Soccer game at Caroline Hill yester day afternoon.

It will be recalled that in their first meeting at Boundary Street, Police also led until the last 20 minutes by 3 goals to 2, but Eastern scored two quick wo Chin-cheung goals in the last five minutes to snatch both points.
Police turned out the same team | several good centres from right- as they fielded against Sing Tao, while Eastern were without the services of Cheung Kar-hoi, who is on the injured list, and whose position at inside-right was filled by Ku Wing-fook.
On the whole, Police had the better of Eastern for the greater part of the game and were detin- itely on top during the last stages of the first period.
If Chan Kwong-yu had not been injured and forced to leave the field for about 10 minutes, during which Eastern equalised, Police might have held on to their lead or at least might have forced a draw. Chan returned but was obviously feeling the effects of his injury and as a result he was not so safe.
Manning, the Police custodian, brought off several good saves, while Chan Kwong-yu played a part cularly sound game and com- bined well with his partner, Black-

DEFEAT SAINTS
By "Referee”
St. Joseph's gave a much improved-display in their First Division Soccer game against Sing Tao on the Club ground yesterday, when they were beat- en by the odd goal in five, after having as much of the play in the second period.
Sing Tao were without Cheung Wing-choy, Leung Wing-chui and Chui Ah-fai, while Saints were without C. Santos.

Saints were well served by their intermediate line which tackled quickly and seldom gave the Sing Tao forwards mich opportunity to settle
their usual play. Fernandes, in the pivotal position, worked hard and kept
a good watch on Kwok Ying-kee while Kwong Wah 2 Maher was too good for Làu Tau- Lau Wing-kuinan, who was able nevertheless, and Leung to send over some good centres. Bing-kwan. Lau Wing-kwong Saint's left- 30th R.A. 2 half, kept a good hold on Tang Marshall a n di wong-sum and also found time
