HOME FOOTBALL RESULTS.
SATURDAY'S LEAGUE MATCHES.
HEAVY GOAL SCORING THROUGHOUT.
THE HONG KONG DAILY PRESS. TUESDAY, DECEMBER 27th,
The Christmas holiday League Football programme began si Home on Saturday, and was continued yesterday and will go on again to-day (Tuesday). The full fixtures for the three days wore published on Saturday morning, and below will be found the results of Saturday's matches. The results of matches played in the English League yesterday and those matches to be played to-day will appear in to-morrow's and Thursday's issue, respective ly. There were no hatches in the Scottish League yesterday, nor will there be today, but next week-end the Scottish League will have a full programine on Saturday, Monday and Tuesday, while for the most part there will only be inatches in the English League on the Saturday and Monday.
Saturday's results are notable for a crop of goals in all divisions of the English League. Division I. came first with 54 goals, of which 38 ware stored by home teams, while the other three divisions all obtained just under 50 goala ench. Another" notabla point of interest is that there was not a single drawn match in Division I
Fives and sixes figured prominently in the results. In Division 1. Leicester City obtained six goals, and Aston Villa and West Ham United fire each. In Division II.. Leeds and the Wolves netted on five occasions, and in Division III. (Southern) Millwall obtained six goals, and Plymouth Argyle scored five, goala against are by " Crystal Palace Three teams in Division 11. (Northern) netted on five occasions each.
Two matches were not played. In Division III. (Southern) the Walsall. Torquay United match between Wigan Boro'. and Nelson did not come off.
A rather interesting result is that Portsmouth, who are still at. the bottom of Division I., beat Huddersfield Town, who are well up the tables.
There are a few changes in the League Table, but they are prin- cipally in Division. I. In the other divisions they are not of con- siderable importance, and mostly on account of goal average.

This game was played on the South China ground and ended in a win for South China by the odd goals in three. The only goal of the first hall was scored by Li Kum Fee for South China. In the second half, Ng Pee Kee "scored for South China and Wei Kep Lun for the Boy Scouts.
Interport Traal Game. Failing to score from a penalty, the Navy could only draw with the team selected to play for Hong Kong in the final Trial game on the H.K.F.C. ground. The chosen side did not shine against the Navy men and were somewhat lucky to be on level terms when the final whistle sounded. An early goal by Gosano gave the team the lead and a good chance for the Navy to level was afforded when Northey was brought down in the penalty area. Evans took the kick and Clarke saved well amidst applause. Soon after Suen Kum Shun best Bradley with a fast high score, but for the Navy, Leonard beat Clarke soon after,

From now on, it was the Navy's game but luck was against them and when the final whistle sounded the score was two goals all. Tho Selected side will require .re- shuffling if they wish to return with Interpart honours. Vernon kept his line together but the wing men had a day off. Suen should have scored more than once, but his shooting was erratic. Sims was his usual self, but the wing halves did not play up to standard.
MeNiven of the Guards.
The game was keenly contested and very fast, the only goal of the first hall was scored by McNiven from a well placed corner kick by the Rev. Alexander.
The second half was not many urinutes old, when Portugal were given a chance to level, a penalty against McBride. Gosano took the spot kick and Rodger stopped the ball and cleared.

There were plenty of obvious reasons for ruling out the Schener- tady putter, or the slotted irons which helped Jock Hutchison to win the Open.

fly a yard or two further owing to the more rigid shaft. But a drive hit off the toe of one of these clubs would be more disastrous than if the shat were played with a normal club. The slight torque of the hickory shaft, absent in steel, works automatically on the samË principle as the bulgy-faced club, and minimises the error in striking.
It is a pity that the ninth green at Happy Valley has had to be moved inside the Race track. Any course as flat as this one is bound to lack something of excitement, and the most sporting shots on the course were the mashic shots to the fifth and last greens. Now one of these is gone, and the course has lost, some much-needed length.
