SAINTS RECOVER SPLENDIDLY AGAINST EASTERN
SOCCER MATCH
CONCLUDES
IN 2-2 DRAW
CHINESE SCORE TWICE IN FIRST 10 MINUTES
(By "Abo")
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 one man short, and when the second was put in, Hau Ching-to, who scored both goals, was palpably off-side.

Good work by the Saints' half-up, the Saints had only eight men ou backs, led by David Leonard, pre- vented the Eastern forwards from initiating their usually speedy move- ments. Leonard was a great spelter as pivot, and it was due to his fine play that the Saints were able to at- the forwards tnck so often. find been a little more dangerous in front of soul, or if the Eastern backs had defended a little less gallantly, the Saints would undoubtedly have walk- ed off the field on the winning emil. But Lo Woi-man and Kwok Ping chung were undeterred by the heavy burden that they had to shoulder. They had more to do than their oppo- site numbers, A. J. Hussin and V.

Before Delgado delegated to himself the duties of "policeman" to Hinu, however, the Eastern left wing proved his mettle by netting twice. The other Eastern forwards, falled completely to make hendway, 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 Wal-kpen, had le chance to stem the Saints' altacks.

AROUND THE GROUNDS
Leading Teams Succeed In Week-End Football

TITH South China "B", Middlesex and Seaforths winning

leading positions in the First Division of the Hongkong Football League over the week-end. The prospects of South. China "A" of catching up with the leaders, however, ara now very poor; their defcat by the Middlesex on Saturday has almost put them out of the running.
