DULLEST GAME OF

It needed something more ex- citing than this match at Caroline Hill yesterday to compensate the several thousands of spectators who sat around the ground shivering in an icy blast which swept the field for 90 minutes. It was one of the coldest days of the year and one of the dullest games seen this scason.
South China were clearly masters of the situation from the initial play, and so completely dictated the terms, that only the scoring of six goals kept interest alive for the onlookers.
Neither
unit played team be a very well, though there were flashes of inspired individualism which firea one's enthusiasm. Lee Wai-long's first goal, when, with a quick flick of the foot he sent the ball souring into the top of the net from 30 yards range, made a talking point for the spectators, and was easily one of the most spectacular goals scored here this season.
It was especially clever, because Lee seized upon an opening which few players would have appreciated, and by his opportuniam left Chang the Shanghai goalkeeper entirely unsighted.
It gives me real pleasure to state that Wong Mee-shun was the best player on view, Usually one finds it necessary to qualify laudatory, com- ments on Wong Mee-shun, but in Rowlands (R.W.F.); Pickering this game he played well nigh per- tackled (RU.R.), Stevens (UR.); Wride feet football.

Sookunpoo, starting at 3.30 p.m.
Shanghai, whose two splendid vic- tories to date have earned for them the whole-hearted admiration of the football community of Hongkong, stand a reasonable chance of pulling all the triple, though they may find to-day's task harder than any of the ather two.
