This game played on the Club ground at, Happy Valley was disappointment from the spectacular point of view. Neither team played up to expectations while visitors to the Club ground were very few.
Misfortune followed the Kowloon team for in the opening balf of the game Crocker, who was making his Arst appear- ance for Kowloon since he returned to the Colony, "fell heavily and dislocated his elbow, taking no further part in the game. This handicap great upset Kowloon's chances, and Wheeler taking over the duties of goalkeeper weakened the de- fence. It would been better policy for Kowloon to have put Duncan in goal, for Wheeler's place in the field cannot easily be filled. The game opened fairly even and although the standard of play fell much below the 'average, there was little Ho choose between the teams. Bishop and Evelyn were absent from the Club, team and their places were taken by McCub bin and McTavish who fancy their chances in the Annust match, Scotland versu# England on Boxing Day. Chances were ofered to both teams to score, but shoot- ing, to say the least, was wild. At the interval the score sheet was blank.
Crocker was still absent from the Kow- loon side when the teams again took the field and Wheeler donned the white jer Bey. Nothing of note occurred until, dur- ing a scramble in front of the Kowloon goal following a corner kick, the Club were Awarded a penalty. Jones, who had early in the game injured his leg, took the kick but sent the ball nard against the upright and Howard catching it on the rebound sent hard at Wheeler who brought off a good save amidst applause. For a time after this the game was seen, the forwards being very erratic in shooting. The only goal of the game came from Howard who, taking advantage of a misunderstanding between Turner and McKelvie,, received the ball from a pass by Pile and with a fast screw shot along the ground sent the ball into the far corner of the net, Wheeler making a strenuous effort to deflect the ball outside. For time the game then livened up and Kowloon attacked strong ly, but the Club defence held them out and the final whistle found Kowloon close in and the score one goal to nil in favour of the Club.

The East Surreys were a good team; and the large crowd who watched the game were well satisfied. Clarke was the bero of the game and seldom has Wynne given.
