SAINTS RECOVER SPLENDIDLY AGAINST
SOCCER MATCH
CONCLUDES

DRAW
CHINESE Score TWICE IN FIRST 10 MINUTES
(By "Abe")
Two goals scored in the first ten minutes of their First Division League football match against St. Joseph's enabled Eastern to win a point when the teams met on the Navy ground at Causeway Bay yesterday. The Eastern players were fortunate to be two goals up so early in the game because when the first was scored the Saints were ane man short, and when the second was put in, Hau Ching-to, who scored both goals, was palpably off-aide. The lines- man waved his fing, but the referee did not ace the signal and allowed the point.
After these two early successes, Eastern folled to score again. They were kept on the defensive for the render of the game and were for- tunate to share the League points. though they changed over at the interval with a 2-1 lead,
Good work by the Saints' half- bucks, led by David Leonard, pre- vented the Eastern forwards from initiating their usually speedy move- ments.
Leonard was a great spoiler as pivot, and it was due to his fiae play that the Saints were able to at- luck so often. Had the forwarda been a little more dangorous in front of goal, or if the Eastern backs had defended a little less gallantly, the Saints would undoubtedly have walk- ed off the field on the winning end. But Lo Wai-man and Kwok Ping chung were undeterred by the heavy burden that they fund to shoulder. They had more to do than their oppo- site numbers, A. J. Hussain and V. Costa, and were the more reliable Bair of backs.

to Hau, however, the Eastern wing proved his mettle by netting twice. The other Eastern forwards, falled completely to make headway, with the result that a great share of the work was thrust on the defenders. With Leonard, Delgado and Sprinkle always up to help their forwards, the Eastern halves, Ng Tak-wing, Tsang Chung-man and Lo Wai-kuen, had little chance to stem the Saints' atlucks.

Marques was a success in this new position, one can definitely state that he tried hard and it was from one of his passes that Ward was able to score his accond goal.
The greatest surprise in the Saints attack was the success of Albert Ward at eentat-forward. Usually an inside right. Ward yester- day led the attack and showed a splendid understanding with Castilho on his right. If Gomes and Alves had displayed the same form on the left wing, the Chinese defenders would have had a merry dance: but Alves, in spite of his spred, did not bother the Eastern right half as much as he might have done,
