Winners Adapt Themselves Better To Conditions

For The Losers
By "Referee"
ADAPTING THEMSELVES better to the ground conditions, Sing Tao again placed themselves in the running for First Division honours when they beat South China by 3 goals to 1 after leading at the in- terval by the odd goal in three on the Club ground yesterday.
Sing Tao fully deserved their win for they play- ed good football and settled down much faster than South China and though their goal underwent some narrow escapes in the second half their forwards were generally dangerous when on the move.
Each player knew his task and! accomplished it well and the 10- termediate-line
BADLY BEATEN
By "Sportshawk"
At Boundary Street yesterday afternoon, Police were unexpect- edly and heavily defeated by Kwong Wah in their First Divi- БІОЛ
encounter Football League when they lost 7 gonls to 2, after the winners scored three goals in the first half. It may be recalled the Police beat Kwong Wah by 3-1 in the first meeting.
On the whole the match was rather
and produced scrappy lisle of mnterest.
Kwong Wah bud the better of theclines, and, except for occasional Police raids, they du- munaled the play.
Blackburn, right-back for Police, played a magnificent game in detence but he found the op- posing raids too much for hum- self alone to cope with and he received insufficient support from his partner. Chan Kwong-yu while Manning never appeared the situation 2 able to cope with

well in this game for they rarely allowed South China to indulge in! their usual play
Outstanding players in Sing Tao's team wis Cheong Wing- choy in goal and Hou Yung-gang at back. In attack Fung King cheong led his line in fine style and provided the most danger to South China's goai.
Cheong Wing-choy brought off some good saves, particularly in the first half when he turned well-placed shot from Châu Man- chi round the post. His safe handling of high balls cleared! many a dangerous situation.
Hau Yung-sang outshone Lee Ting-sang at back. He
cleared well and covered his partner well.
Chui's Great Effort
Chui Ah-fai watched every move of Lee Wai-tong and did not allow
the South China star a chance at goal. He played himself to 1 standstill and was injured in the closing stages of the game.

Best South China Forward
The best man In the South
China's attack was Chau Man-chi. He tried hard to make openings, supplied Lee Tak-kee with good passes and was the only forward who really tested Cheong.
Tam, in goal for South, China, played a good game and could not, be blamed for the goals scored against him. He was called upon often and gave a much be ter dis- play than he has done for some time.
