STRIKE BEST FORM
[Br" Abe")
It is always typical of the Police Football team that though they may lose to the weakest team in the First Division, they have a habit of being at its best against the strongest side in the League. This has been proved once again; yesterday the Police played South China "B" on the Club ground and held the League feaders to a 1-1 draw.
For this performance, Police had thek defence entirely to thank Manning (goal), Bone and Chris Pile played us they had never played be fore this season, and together held the formidable Chinese forwards at bay for the majority of the pine. Pife especially showed a great im- provement on his recent perform- inces, and it was due to the way in which he subdued the nippy Tay- Quei-liang-Yeung Shui-yick can- bination which prevented the Chi- than one nere from scoring more goa!.
"The half-buck line of North, Gough and Brittain had little polish in their play, but they succeeded in harassing the Chinese forward to such an ex- tent that the latter were unable to get into their usual stride.
POLICE ACHIEVEMENT
It was definitely an achievement by the Police, and the result was all the more creditable in that they were without the services of Parker at left hall. His place was filed by North, who contributed in no small measure to the checking of the Chinese for- wards. Moxs ronde a return to the team yesterday and, considering that ho has been out of the game for 50 long his display was quite good. The addition of avoirdupois, how ever, has made him slower than the used to be, though he proved yester- day that he has not yet completely lost touch
If the Police had had another for- word apart from Howlett who could ake the ball up near enough to goal to shoot, is even conceivable that they would have won. For at least ten minutes in the second period, the keepers of the peace were attacking but the forwards lucked cohesion and threw away several scoring opper- tunities Johnston was
