GOAL SCORED NATIONAL SOCCER LEAGUE
BY B. T. C. FORRESTER IN THE STUBBS CUP POLO TOURNEY
Governor And General Interested Spectators
Two Penalties In Match
HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR, Sir Geoffry Northcote, H.E. Major-General A. E. Grasett, and Com- modore A. M. Peters, were among the gathering of in- terested spectators at the Stubbs Cup polo matches play- ed yesterday at the Hongkong Polo Club ground.
Two matches were decided but neither of them reveal-
ed any spectacular standard cf play. Both proved good open, games with occasional dashes of speed, but through poor teamwork, many scoring opportunities were lost and throughout the afternoon only four goals were shot.
This disappointment was crossing and Lt. Chatty took the somewhat atoned for, how-, penalty from the 60 yards line but ever, by a brilliant bit of play failed to score.
