Kew just kept out from under the bar. He was unable to clear far enough and the sailors cen. tre forward meeting at closs quarters had no difficulty in equalising. Result, Club A team 1 goal; destroyers 1 goal. This is the third match the A team has played, all three games, being drawn. It was vory hard lines for it, having to play a man short in yesterday's game, as this doubtless postponed its first win. Jo

The Hongkong Football Club Rugby team seems invincible this season. It had already de fested the Navy, the Royal Welch Fusiliers, and the
Garrison; and Tuesday it took on the Navy for the second time of asking and again beat it. decisively. In the first half McMurtrie got over the line for the Club, gaining a try, and Overs. Maid. Runs. Wides. N.B. Wickets. | taking the place kick, was also successful in con-

H.K.F.C. V. A. CO., R.W.F. The Hongkong Football Club had for anta gonists on Wednesday the A of the Royal Welch Fusiliers, which is reputed to be one of the strongest, if not the strongest, team in the Regiment. The Club were one or two short of their best eleven, but had nevertheless a strong side-too strong for the soldiers.
Up to half time the Club had the best of the play and notched two goals, the first coming, I think, from the foot of Green, whilst the second was put through by one of the Fusiliers, backs. After the interval the game was very even; but the soldiers spoiled several opportunities by off side play, They were near Booring more than once, the Club backs being none too sure, but Kew in goal was particularly safe. The Club forwards were not idle and Noble got a smart goal from a pass by Green. The Fusi- liers had very hard lines in one attempt to
score.
The ball was swung across from the left wing into the goal month and the right wing and centre forward threw themselves bodily on to it. Kew, however, got the ball away in some manner, the centre forward going in the net and the wing over the goal line The game ended Club three goals, A Co. R.W.F. nil, the soldiers not taking th ir defeat kindly.
The public cannot complain of a lack of foot ball games to witness just now, for concurrent with the above match there was also a game in progress between the 25th S.D...A., and H.M.8. Barflour on the Happy Valley.
Both teams were well represented and a level and interesting game was the result. The Burfleur scored twice to the Artillery's once, the result thus boing.

verting. After the interval the Club kept the play for some time in Navy territory but was unable to materialize and then the Navy took up the attack. They held the advantage for some little time and that sterling player Tomp- kinson taking an opportune pass got cleverly over the line. The angle was "difionit and the attempt to convert failed. After this the play went again in the Club's favour. Hancock made ground with a strong run, being brought down only a few yards from the goal line. From a subsquent scrum Vyvyan got hold and had no difficulty in scoring a try which McMurtrie made into a major point with a very fine kick. This appeared to demoralise the Navy for they lost all power to hold the Club and ere long Williamson was over the line again for the latter, placing the ball right between the posts. McMurtrie again took the kick and had not the slightest difficulty in con- verting. The whistle then sounded leaving the result, Club 3 goals-15 points, Navy 1 try-3 points, McMurtrio had a big share in the victory for besides his fine place kicking he was in the thick of the game, rendering excellent service, throughout. Hancock, pat in valuable work for the Club too; whilst Tompkinson played conspicuously well for the Navy...

FOOTBALL NOTES.
BY QUIDNUNG.
"27th November. During the past week there were two very interesting Rugby matches. On Tuesday the Army somewhat easily beat the Navy scoring after a most closely contested game the Hong- goals and I try to 1 goal, and on Thursday kong Football Club beat the Garrison, by 1 goal (5 points) to nil.
Now, whilst there is so much enthusiasm, is the time for Rugbyites to evolve some scheme to sustain the interest in the game. I would therefore draw their attention again to my sug•
CA
gestion re a championship, stated in my last week's notes, with the hope that they may find it feasible. Interest is always greater where there is some incentive, and the honour of being styled Champions I am sure would be coveted. It has been stated to me that the Hongkong Football Club could not put a decent 15 on the field without calling on either Army or Navy, officers, but I doubt this. It is very trus that the officers give them considerable assistance, but for all that I think the Club could manage to give a creditable dis- play without their aid. However, be that as it against a cham- may, it is no argument for or pionship, and whoever might win, it would al- ways be interesting to know which were strong- est Navy, Garrison, or civilians.es ia tervise
