THE CHINA MAIL, TUESDAY, JANUARY 1956.
ON THEIR WAY.
CAAF TAKES DECISIVE LEAD IN THEIR BID FOR GOVERNOR'S CUP.
By I. M. MacTAVISH
Playing a brand of football the opposition could never match, the Chinese boys took a decisive lead in their efforts to retain the Governor's Cup for another year.
This game, which was played at the Hongkong Stadium yesterday, was some- thing of a disappointment for the standard of play nover quite reached expectations. The heavy drizzle made the surface very slippery and the players on both sides were never at their ease with the skidding ball with the result that passes frequently went astray.

West Bromwich Albion Spring Major Upset By Beating Newcastle 3-0
London, Jan. 2.

Although today's soccer programme was largely Scottish one, it being a traditional Scottish holiday, there were some important games in the English League, chiefly concerning Northern clubs.
A major surprise was the home defeat in Division One of Newcastle, the Cup holders, Ronnie Allen scoring three times for West Bromwich Albion, once from the penalty spot. It is more than three months since Albion won away from home.

PIRIE AS SPORTSMAN OF THE YEAR

London, Jan. 1.
One of the biggest surprises of the 1955 sporting season was re- served for the dying days of the year-the selection of Gordon Pirie as the "Sportsman of the Year" by the British public.
Pirie, noted British distance runner, was not rated by the Sports Writers' Association In the first seven in Britain; while in my list of the best in the world In 1955, Pirle was missing though four other Britons were included in the first 12 and several others honourably mentioned.
