SOUTH CHINA "B" BETTER TEAM BUT WERE BEATEN
FORWARDS FAIL TO GET THROUGH EASTERN BACKS
LEE TAK-KEE'S GOAL GIVES SIDE VICTORY
The South China “B” eleven must have been a very chagrined lot when the final whistle blow yesterday in their First Division League match against. Eastern at Caroline Hill yesterday; for though they were, on the day's play, by far the better team, they had to leave the field on the losing end. By virtue of a goal scored in the first half during one of the'r rare raids on the South China “B” goal, Eastern collected both points.
net.
It was as an unsatisfactory end-] ing na any South China supporter could have feared. Superior though the Caroline I men were in almost every department of the game, they were unable to find the and again they attacked theadel, only to be re- pulsed each time.
For their victory, Eastern had their defence to thank. It was not Lou Hin-hon,
the goal-keeper, cu much
as Trang Chung-wan (who made his return to the team after some weeks) and Mew Wah-kwok, the two full-backs, and lisu King shing, the centre-half. These three ployed the game of their Ives. Whenever the South China altack- ing machine get going, one of these three invariably saved the situation with timely clearances.
As for the South China defence, little need be sald except that it focked very sound right through. Lim Tak-po, as pivot, was a hard- worker and with two dependable defenders, Leung Pak-wal and Lau the Eastern Wal-tal, behind him, attack found itself up against o brick wall.
In view of the soildity of the South China defence, it was all the more creditable to Eastern that they were thus able to seize upon their oppor- unity presented to them 25 minutes after the kick-off. Suen Kam-shuen brilliant posses 15 sent one of his Lee Tak-kec,

CLUB FORWARDS WEAK IN SATURDAY'S GAME WITH THE SERVICES.
(By "Fly-Fial")
In a bard game at Happy Valley on Saturday, the United Services defeated the Club by 14 points to eight at rugger. It was a game in which individual efforts were more often witnessed than comb.ned movements.

Minoot, in goal, brought off some nice saves in the first half but the poor positioning of the defenders, among whom Miss Handyside was often at fault, made matters more difficult for her in the closing stages of the game.

Miss P. Gitties, the skipper, at centre-forward, was the spear-head of the attack and with Miss F. Wong on the right wing, showed plenty of speed. Miss Addie Greiner, at inside left, also combined effectively. Miss Marie Roze, at left back, made quite a favourable impression and with Miss G. White playing up to her trus form, the heme goal was never seri- ously threatened.
