The Divisional Championship was won by the Chinese Athletic Annecia. tion, who areùred a score of 10 points, the individual Championship was won by Chan Shok-pul (King'a College Old Boys) and Lo Yuk-wing (China Athletic Association) who tied with a score of six points each.
At the conclusion of the events the prizes were presented to the winners by Mrs. J. Ralston.
The results were as follows:
100 metree free style.-1, Lo Yuk- Wing; 2, A. K. Minu; 8, Chan Sul-pe. Time 76.2/5 secs.
Tum Kong-pak was a treat to watch. His leadership was ex- celient, and as have already in- timated he was largely responsible for both goals. The second one which he directly scored followed individual effort. wonderful when he crowded out thres oppon- ents before getting in his final kick.
