PORTUGUESE FAR SUPERIOR TO AIRMEN POINTS SHARED IN FIRST DIVISION TIE
FIVE-TWO VICTORY IN
JUNIOR SHIELD
.
Many Goals Missed By Faulty Shooting
The Portuguese S. A. should have scored at least ten goals in- stead of fire in their Junior Shield football match yesterday against the Royal Air Force on the Kowloon Football Club ground. That they were unable to do so was due to two main factors: Arstly, hopelessly inaccurate shooting and a deplorable weakness in front of the gost in the first half. However,
they mad
up
amply in the second-period, and did well to win by five goals to two after the Airmen had led by the only goal scored at the end of the first half.
From the outset it was apparent, that the Airmen were up against considerably better-trained and nippler men, whose pretty short passing tactics were a delight to watch; but when they had time *fter time, having. beaten the de- fence, failed to notch a goal as the result of inaccurate or weak shoot- ing, there were many who believed that the hard-working if not par- ticularly classy Airmen might, with luck, carry the day. Such, how- ever, was not to be the case. for the Portuguese shooters improved
shortly after the resumption, and
followed by this was
a splendid goal by Gaan, who, breaking away almost from his own goal-mouth rushed down in a lone run, beat Froude, and sent in a hard shot which gave Prune no chance. After this the goals came in rapid suc- cession, Gaan
scored the third
goal, Campos the fourth and fifth. Just before the end, Elton reduced the lead for the Airmen.

Before a crowd of 615,000, "Wales beat “England to-day by 14 points (a goal, a try and two penalty goals) to eight points (q qual and a try) in an international rugger nutch at Cardiff. A ter- rific wind was blowing when the teams took the field and continued throughout the game to be followed later by a blinding storm. i

Beyond the faults already mien- tioned, the Portuguese played ex- «tremely well with, perhaps, the exception of the "back division where neither Gomes nor Aquino were impressive. They were re- peatedly caught out of position and showed indecision and a strange weakness in tackling. Actually, Fernandez did not have a great deal to do in goal, but the first one, let through was what is usually described as a "tter! 10 was"

whose tackling was an inspiration Cherub. D.NF. to the Welshmen, brought him down.' The Welshmen were now even in worse straits than were England in the first halt so far as the weather was concerned, for in addition to the wind, there was blind rain.
Another brilliant run by Sever caused anxiety, but was foiled by Cliff Jones dropping too far back to take the pass that was meant
for him.
Then followed a most. Berce battle among the two packs and one of the England men was warned after an incident which resulted in Watkins having to leave the field with a leg injury. However, Watkins was quickly back on the field, but shortly afterwards Clement was carried off.
The closing stages were most thrilling. especially when Bassett

scored. Three minutes from time Severs' persistence was rewarded and he scored a smart try which Freakes converted.
Wales fought back splendidly and England were again penalised for "feet up" and Jenkins, kicked goal. At another long-distance the interval Wales were leading by nine points (a try and two penalty goals) to three points (a try).
