CHINESE DEFEAT HONGKONG F. A. IN CHARITY GAME
LOSERS STRONG IN DEFENCE BUT WEAK IN ATTACK
LACK OF COMBINATION GREATEST DRAWBACK
(By "Abe")
Except in the opening 20 minutes, a weakish Hongkong F.A. team proved no match for the South China A.A. at Caroline Hill yesterday in a charity soccer game, being finally beaten by three goals to nil.
Individually the Hongkong F.A. players did good work, but as a team they were woefully weak, especially in attack and the South China goal was seldom in danger.
On the other hand, the Chinese vanguard, led by Lee Wal-tong, was always a source of danger to the opposition goal, and only the resolute Lackling of lisu King-shing (centre half), and Hussain and Souza, the backa, kept the score down to three goals against them.
When the mate commenced, the ball was awung from one side to the other with great rapidity. Although the 11.K.F.A. goal had a couple of narrow escapes, the Chinese wero not able to wert any superiority over their opponents in the first 20 minutes of the game; in fact, the II.K.F.A. men were playing so well that it seemed as if they would make
a good fight of it.
PACE NOT MAINTAINED Unfortunately, however, they were unable to maintain the pace as well as the Chinese and, after Law Tau- man had given the South China team the lead, with a fine goal, the game deteriorated.
Blake, who had played a splendid game at centre-forward for Kowloon on Saturday, was the biggest dis- appointinent of the lot. Turning out at inside-left, he took on a roaming commission and was all over the When he did get the ball in place. midfield he had a disconcerting habit of yeerlug across the field when challenged, instead of slipping it for ward to one of its colleagues. In this way, he wanted Innumerable op- portunities.
Hau Ching-lo, on the left wing, did not shine because he was so uften neglected by Blake. He had to de- pend on occasional passes from Hsu or from Suen Kam-shuen, who made many fine attempts to set the for- wards in motion.
Munro, on the right wing, was not
clever enough to clude the attentions
of Lau Tin-cang and Lee Tin-sang, the Chinese left-half and .left-back respectively, while Fowler found his -rush methods of no avail against the rock-hill defence of the Chinese although he did get quite close a couple of times with nice headers.

On the whole the Mainlanders' total was not so bad, although the middle batsmen should have scored more. They tended to flatter the bowlers by adopting a frightened attitude to them. The fact that L. G. Gosano, who was batting comfort- ably, was brilliantly caught when he had hit three, was another nail in the Kowloon coffin.
Hongkong started their task of scoring 120 in care-free manner. Carey hit 11 out of the first 12 in two overs, and Coombes then stayed with Rapley until 50 had been holsted.

Rugger Prospects Very Promising For The Season
(By "Fly-liaff")
The 1938-39 Rugby season promises to be a very successful one for the Club, if only from the point of view of the number of playing members. There are more than 45 names on the playing list and in view of the attractive fixture card, this is very satisfying..
To-morrow the last trial match will
be held at 5.15 p.m., after which the teams for Saturday's games, · Club | "A" v. a Navy XV and Club v. Army,
will be picked.
All Club members who wish to play rugger this year should turn out. All players present will be sure of getting a game, and they are asked to Bring with them both a white and a coloured persey.
With the glut of talent at the dis- posal of the Club, the task of pleiding the teams will be a difficult one. All of last year's team, with the excep- tion of R. G. Geer, J. C. Miller, C. F. Needham and J, L. Bonnar, are turn
