The soldiers should have won. Two glorious chances were missed, both of which should have meant a two goal lend over the Chinese.
one of the outstanding players of the game was the Ulsters' out- side right, Irwin. He was very fast and his centres left nothing to be desired.
The soldiers' defence was good. Pickering and Stevens the two backs, aided by the staunch work of the hälves very ably handled the Chinese attrack. It must be sald that the Chinese forward line had played better football. Yesterday they seemed very lax in the first "Gentlemen,-You have done
