Tigers Tamed Temperamental Tung Wah In Yesterday's First Division Match
By I. M. MacTAVISH
It would have boon difficult to convince a casual visitor to the Club Stadium, yesterday afternoon that Sing Tao wero engaged in what was really a life and death struggle as far as their First Division existence was concerned.
In the end they defeated Tung Wah comfortably by 4 goals to 2 but they made. very heavy weather of it all. Tung Wah started in likely enough fashion, but as time wore on and the opposition grew tougher they faded badly. Some of their second half stuff was indescribably poor. Tung With suffered from the aliment which I suggested some months ago might assail them when they built a hocus pocus side by pulling a few big names in a small name tcom.

The second half was as yawn- able as any football we've had to watch recently and in the first 15 minutes the only things that stuck in my mind were a couple of impetuous and crafty indis- cretions by Lo Keng-chuen which would have earned him a severe consure had they not been commited behind the referee's back.
Keen Spectators
It might Interest the Tiger to know that neliher of his efforts escaped the notlee of keen spectators in the grandstands.
In the 65th minute the Tung Wah boys fell further behind and again their defence was at fault. They allowed Lee Tak- tung to amble us the left wing with the ball and while they stood in silent admiration of his fine centre Yeung Wal-to coolly. hondert the bill into the net.
That was really the end of the game as a serious contest but a few minutes later Tsang Kenk-kong, tho Sing Tão in- side right, swung the ball goal- wards from the right touch- linc. There was a glorious mix-up and before all and sun- dry had straightened them- selves out the ball was in the net.
