BRILLIANT GOAL-KEEPING IN CHARITY SOCCER
S. CHINA BEATS
F.A.
ELEVEN
WONG & ROWLANDS STOP MANY STINGING SHOTS
(By "Abe")
By the odd goal in three, South China A.A. defeated the Hongkong Football Association at Caroline Hill yesterday in a charity soccer match in aid of China's devastated war arcu, It was due entirely to the efforts of the two goal- keepers, Wong Wing of South China, and Rowlands of the F.A., that not more than three goals were scored; both were in magnificent form and each in turn was prominent with many fine saves,
up
A tremendous crowd turned for the match, which proved to be a fast, clean tussle. Perhaps a draw would have been a fairer result as the teams had their fair share of the exchanges, but it has to be acknow ledged that the Chinese showed a definitely superior combination and a better understanding between the
nives and the forwards.
The Aanoelation team which took the field was not as strong as the one originally announced. Neither Webs ter ner Spler was able to play, and the substitutes, Bowen and Leonard, did not play up to the standard of a match of this description.
Fellowing the kick-off by the Hon. Mr. M. K. Lo, play for a perlod took an even course; the bail swung from end to end with nellter side able to show any advantage.
Leonard, at centre-half, was the weak link in the Association defence in the Best half. He was much too slow for the wily Fung King-cheung who made rings round him until he began to use his weight. His hesitn- tion and failure to harass the with the ball gave the defence more work to do than was necessary, but lie improved as the game progressed, and towards the end played an im- portant part in many of the F.A. attacks.

Ап Chinese defendiers always had onxious time when they were on the move. Dumeld and Coakley, on the right, were more dangerous flank than were Saw and Hou Ching-to. Pearson was too well-marked by Lim Tak-po, who adopted "police- man's" methods, to be dangerous and was seldom allowed to stray for more than a few yards from the Chinese pivot. Hau Ching-to missed
n glorious opportunity to score for the F.A. In the first half when he ran right through and with Wong Wing ct his mercy, he shot wide.
BRILLIANT ROWLANDS
Rowlands was brilliant, and had bad luck in not stopping Fung King- cheong's penalty. Had he done so, his day's exhibition would have been well-nigh perfect.
The Chinese dominated play mid- feld and the attack was set in motion

AROUND THE GROUNDS
Odd-Goal Victories. In All Senior Soccer Matches
(ly "Abe")
Though I predicted that all the schior football matches over the week-end would be close affairs, I little thought that all five games, four in the First Division League and the charity fixture betibcon South China and the Hongkong F.A. would end in odd- goal victories. Yet this teas what happened,
Sammy Tsang, the Eastern custo- dian, is fast becoming one of the best goal-keepers in the Colony. Against the Middlesex on Saturday, it was he who stood between the soldiers his and more goals, and but for magnificent goal-keeping in team would have been beaten by a wider margin than it actually was. With the score at 3-3, Middlesex over-rata Eastern in the closing stages of their encounter at Sookunpoo, but they could not, obtain the winning goni until a few minutes from the Anal whistle.
THRILLS APLENTY
There were thrills aplenty in the match between the Club and Sea- forths on the former's ground. On paper, Seaforths looked a much sounder skle, but they had a shock when the civilians went ahead and led by two goals shortly after the interval. The Seaforths there and then
set out to explode the myth that their forwards cannot shoot by registering three goals in quick succession to win out by the odd goal in nine. It was a close shave for- them, though on the run of play they were warthy winners.
