"FIRE" RIGHT THROUGH GAME
CAROLINE HILL SIDE SCORES TEN GOALS
(By "Abo")
It must be a long time since one team bent another by ten goals to nil in a First Division soccer match in Hongkong. Yester- day at Sookunpou, South China "A" showed how it could be ac- complished by riding rough-shod over the Royal Scots in their opening match of the League season, scoring ten times without reply.

INTERPORT CRICKET TRIAL ON SATURDAY A VERY DULL AFFAIR
