South China Receive A
Shock From Eastern
FIRST THREE
Rude
In Battle Of Giants
South China, defending Champions, received a rude shock when they were beaten 2-1 by Eastern in what turned out to be a battle of giants in a Senior Division match at Caroline Hill yesterday.
Perhaps the first two victories with a total of 20 goals scored by South China's goalhappy forward line have deceived them into believing that they possessed an all-round strength and that a minimum effort was all that was necessary for them to retain the cup again. How wrong they wore!

A grand display by pivot Hughes, some neck or nothing saving by goalkeeper Kwok Man-sum, and a most astonishing sequence of goal-tolon dived, sprawled, booted mouth escapes enabled the Police to share points with a much improved Army side at Boundary Street yesterday.
The boys-in-blue deserve a special word of praise for their valiant defence for centre-half Lat Wai was a last minute absenice from the line-up but Hughes, who took a step back into the vacancy, played a storm of a game and looked after Morris excellently.
