NAVY THWARTED ON

LINCOLNS SAVE A POINT WITH A VERY LUCKY GOAL
RESULT AGAINST RUN OF THE PLAY
(By "Veritas")
FOR the best part of the match the Lincolns were disconsolately admitting they had those "navy blues," when they met the seamen on the Railway Groud on Saturday, and it was by sheer luck that they left the arena with a point to their credit.
The Navy comfortably held their lead of 2-1 until exactly one minute from the close, when Hocquard, re- calving a long pass, lifted the ball into the goal where
ARTILLERY LOSE OUTSIDE RIGHT
Cough, the Royal Artil- lory outside right, has left the Gunners to join the Hongkong Police Force, and after next Saturday will be lost to the Artillery's foot- ball team.
It is understood that although he has already taken up his position with the Police, that he will probably be allowed to turn out for the Gunners'. in their last league match of the season on Saturday next. This Is against St. Joseph's.

Knight made the irretrivable blunder of letting the ball Still in
pass over his bands into the net.
Quite apart from the fact that the shot should have been saved, It was tough luck on the navy to be robbed of the full stakes after holding such a commanding grip on the game.
At intervala in the first half the football asconded to a dis- tinctly high grade, but for the
most part it was hardly of the type about which one would write tome.

(By "Veritas")
One of Hongkong's leading tennis partner- ships is to be broken this summer.
Ho Ka-lau and Yew Man-kit, probably the best pair in the Chinese Recreation Club, who in 1931 won Interport honours and have developed their game to such an extent as to figure in the first four in the Colony, will not team up for the league season.
