ROYAL SCOTS DEFEATED BY SOUTH CHINA "A"? 5-3
Cricket replay Described by "R. Abbit"
Defensive Tactics Saved the Indians
A beautiful day was given us for the play off of the I.R.C. v. Craigengower match. There was one surprise-the wicket on the Club ground was pitched athwart-ships from Queen's Road to Chater Ronda thing I had not seen since 1922 though I'am told it took place also in 1927. The pitch looked good. The only change I noticed was that Ismail Ali came in for Bakar who was on the sick list. I gather Minu put C.C.C. in.

CAROLINE HILL MEN DESERVED THEIR VICTORY
FASTER ON THE BALL AND SHOT BETTER
(By "Abe")
South China "A" deserved their 5-3 win over-the Royal Scots at Sookunpoo yesterday in the First Division of the Hongkong Football League. Yards faster on the ball than their opponents, they also combined better as a team and their final victory, follow- ing a lead of 4-1 at the interval, was expected.
On the run of the day's play, the Royal Beats actually were fortunate to obtain three goils against a de- fence which allowed little to get past it in the first half; but an improve- ment on the part of the Scots in the second perlod, coinciding with a falling-off by the Chinese, made this possible.
But for over-elaboration by the Chinese forwards, their score might have been appreciably increased. Lal Shlu-wing, Fung King-cheung and Tang Kwong-sum were the greatest offenders in this respect, especially in the second half when, Instead of making a bee-line for goal, they indulged in too much inter-
