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.

At Boundary Street yesterday afternoon, Police were unexpect- edly and heavily defeated by Kwong Wah in their First Divi- sion Football League encounter when they lost 7 goals 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.

Fung King-cheong was seen in the centre-forward position with Kwok Ying-kee as his inside-righ and Fung was always in position to receive a pass. He played a clean hard game throughout and in spite of the muddy condition of the ground he was the only player to have a clean jersey at the end of the match.
