KOWLOON'S GREAT WIN.
[By "Wanderer."]
A remarkable record, extending over a season and a half, went by the board on Saturday, when the Chinese Athletic Resorves forced a draw with the K.O.S.B, Reserves. It was the first time that the Bor- derers Reserves had failed to win in a competitive game under the nusplees of the Hongkong Football Association.

The Kowloon defence showed up atrongly in the closing stages, playing determinedly against h clever line of forwards. Many were conceded but the ball was always safely cleared a dashing eventually, and with forward line to carry the ball for ward, the Queen's found they could not have matters quite their own way,
It was a capital game, fought out in a capital apirit. Wheeler and Dadshon were better as a pair than the Queen's backs, while Hedley and McKelvie showed up prominently in the half-back line.

KOWLOON FINDS A SCORING FORWARD.

Northey was the outstanding forward, but all played well with the exception of Miles, who was below form. Opposed to Burn, the outstanding Queen's half-back, he found headway very difficult, though from him too there were
ashes of brightness.
The Queen's half-backs were the most consistent part of the side. The forwards were clever, but erratic, while the backs, Jude and Bunn, were clean in their klek- Ing, but not nearly so effective in their tackling as the Kowloon pair.
