The result is a toss-up. Lee Wal-tong, the Chin- ese star. is a doubtful starter, as is Lee Tin-sang, in view of the forthcoming Koteweli Cup game. The result is very uncertain and after a close game I think the Chinese will claim the odd goal and thereby enchance their pro- spects of a runners-up medal.

Sullivan played a very fine game indeed. & main feature of his play being at the met when he scored several aces.

If you watch McGonigal closely you will find, that, he is a past master of positional play who belleves in making the ball do, the work.
