Neither side was at full strength, and this was probably responsible for the low standard of play, Hau Ching-to AVAS missing from the Eastern left wing, while the Caroline 1 players were without Lee Tin- sab, Fung King-cheung and Cheuk Slick-komm.
Hau's absence was obviously felt by his colleagues, for they were sadly lacking in enterprise. On the other hand, even without Lee, Fung ant Cheuk, South China A were still the better team: only the lethargy of the players themselves made their superiority less pro- nounced.

Seaforth Forwards Fail Near Goal
In Shield Tie
South China"B" Through In Easy Fashion
(By "Abo")
Far from being the even contest which most people had ex- pected, the Senior Shield soccer match between South China “B” and the Seaforths, played at Sookunpoo on Saturday, turned out - to be a walk-over for the former team. Except in the first ten minutes of the match, the Chinese always had the upper hand throughout and finally won by seven goals to nil.
Watching the match on Saturday, it was difficult for one to believe that the teams had met once before in the same round of the compet!- tion and that they had left the ground with the score deadlocked at almest 1-1. Conditions, too, were
the ground identical, except, that was not quite so heavy ns in their Arst meeting; but the same drizzle was there.
The biggest difference between the two teams was in the forward line the where, in striking contrast to
com- the Seaforths were Chinese,
Tak-fal innocuous. Chan pletely and Co. were always dangerous when they were within shooting distance, and it was because they wasted few opportunities to take a shot at goal that they were able to win by such an overwhelming mar- gin.
