South China Deservedly
Unbeaten Record With 3-2 Win
Destroy KMB's
By I. M. MacTAVISH
If you enjoy reading only soothing pleasantries that smooth ovor the plain unvarnished truth, then I'm afraid this report is hardly your cup of soccer tea. If, however, you prefer your facts devoid of social satisfying fondants-and my impres- sion is that most honest-to-goodness football folks do-thon this is for you. Let us dispose of certain firm facts first. South China won by three goals to two. They justly deserved their victory and whatever other quibbles we may have, I believe few will dispute the fact that if any team had to win this unsavoury encounter then South China was the side more entitled to the two points. KMB made a poor defence of their unbeaten record.

AUSTRALIAN CRICKET ON THE EVE OF A BOOM
They Are On The Way Up
Melbourne, Dec. 1. Australian cricket is on the eve of a boom, said former
Test captain Ian Johnson today. Johnson, now Secretary of the Melbourne Cricket Club, told a television audience: "Two years ago I might have agreed that cricket in this country had it. Australia reached rock bottom whet the Englishmen were last here but we are on the way up now."
That Slow Play
He said that slow play in cricket was no worse now than it was 25 to 30 years ago. "Bradman came along and changed the whole standard. The public became accustomed to Bradman-like cricket and expected that from present day players, which is impossible."
Johnson added that he considered Inn Craig would prove a very fine captain, and if he failed during the South African tour, now in progress, it would prove only that the Board of Control had made him captain too early.-China Mail Special. ·
