Macao, Jan. 18.
Despite the threatening state of the weather, unusually large crowds of spectators turned out this afternoon to witness the eagerly awaited hockey match between the Waseda University, captained by T. Yamada, and the Macao Hockey Club, captained by Laertes de Costa. Great was the excitement at the end of the game when the scores stood at five goals to three in favour of Macao.
Play was extremely fast from the outse! and exchanges even. The home forwards pressed the attack vigorously and almost scored within the Arst Ave minutes.
