LEADING GOAL-SCORER OF THE SOUTH CHINA TEAM,
SOUTH CHINA FOOTBALL TEAM RETURNED TO THE COLONY YESTERDAY AFTER A VERY SUCCESSFUL TOUR OF MALAYA, WHERE THEY NOT ONLY WON THE MAJORITY OF THEIR GAMES AND ENHANCED THEIR OWN POPULARITY, BUT WERE INSTRU- MENTAL IN RAISING LARGE SUMS FOR BRITISH AND CHINESE WAR CHARITIES.
