The South China “B” eloven must have been a very chagrined lot when the final whistle blow yesterday in the`r First Division League match against Eastern at Carolino 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 'n the first half during one of the'r rare raids on the South China “E" goal, Eastern collected both points.

The C.B.S. girls made their dobul the Cuer Clark Cup Hockey League on Saturday when they went down to St. Andrew's at King's Park by our clear goals.
The school-girls were up against a strong combination and as a team were not quick enough to cope with the situation. Led by Miss D. McCaw, the attack seemed disjointed. Miss Mona Shand, at inside-left, was ast on the tall but she received very little support from Miss J. Bradbury, on her leit, who was inclined to hesi- fate with her clearances. The same must be said of Miss F. Walson, on the right wing.

The C.B.S. started well enough and gave promise in the early stages, but could not master the bumpy ground.
