THE CHINA MAIL, MONDAY, DECEMBER 8, 1951.
A CASE OF "PEDLAR" PALMER UNLEASHES HIS STREAMLINED GREMLINS
CHEEK
School Juniors, a goal down within a minute, turned round and took com- mand of the play against the Seniors in the League match at Boundary Street yesterday in one of the cheekiest, exhibitions on record.
This picture was snapped as Junior centre-forward Helen Huang (extreme Senior fullback right) drove in the equaliser half way through the first half. Shirley Winterton (centre) and centre-half Shirley Read could do nothing better than watch it go in.
The Seniors did not take this cheek for long and turned round to give the Juniors a 5-1 drøbbing.-China Mail Photo.
KCC Take The Lead
As Scorpions Hold Army To A
Draw
Kowloon Cricket Club, scoring an easy victory against Craigengower at Happy Valley, took the lead in the First Division of the Cricket League on Saturday as the all-round might of Army "A" stumbled before the Scorpions at Chater Road. Army "B" drew with the Optimists at Sookunpoo in the only other First Division match played.
Fat Dodge and Jim Sellors again came to the rescue of KCC, taking four wickets for six runs between them after the Parsee partnership of Dhaber and Divecha looked set to play out time, but it was from an unexpected source that the KCC victory cume.

Victorians Overrun By The Master Strategist's Goal-Scoring Machine
By "RECORDER”
·
G. T. "Pedlar" Palmer unleashed his new streamlined goal-getting Gremlin machine against the Victorians at Boundary Street yesterday and the 3-1 score reflected only the fighting qualities of Joan Crighton's
team.
The Gremlins had one more goal disallowed that was theirs by rights, and their long-passing attacks could have netted them at least another two with a shade more accuracy.
The Victoriana fought every inch of the way and the accurate tackling of their halves, who kept pouncing upon the Gremlin forwards and robbing them of the ball again and again, gave them Half of the play.
