ENGLAND SHINE. England and China served up a feast of good football on Saturday last in the International Charity Cup game played at Club ground, England won deservedly, the Chi- nese team being quite ineffective. Sandford enjoyed his best repre- sentative game this season, and Furrows although perhaps a little "raw" as yet, had a good day. The English side should go a long way in this competition.

SOUND PARTNERSHIP Swain and Wolverson formed a sound partnership in defence for England last week end. This pair shaped as if they had played to- gether for years.
