ST. JOSEPH'S BEATEN BY EASTERN IN POOR GAME
WINNERS START Scoring Chances Thrown Away By Army Men
SHAKILY BUT
END STRONGLY
Play Never Rises Above A Mediocre Standard.
(By "Abe")
Starting shakily but finishing confidently, Eastern garnered another couple of points in the First Division of the Hongkong Football League yesterday when they defeated St. Joseph's by four goals to three at Causeway Bay.
Because certa'n members of each side were over-keen, there was too much wild kicking and too great a regard for the man in- stead of the ball, and consequently the standard of play seldom got beyond the mediocre stage. The result was a fair indication of the merits of both sides; Eastern deserved their win because they were that little bit better balanced than their opponents, and furthermore their forwards could shoot a greal deal better.
Two garing foults marked the Saints' play: the defence was fun unt- steady and the attack too hurried in front of wal. In all other aspects of the game, the Saints wer: East- ern's equals in spite of the fact that Hsu King thing. at centre-half for the Chinese, was the best half-back on view.
Cruz, in the Saints' goal for the Arst time this scazon, was very shaky under pressure and never appeared really safe. Souza was the Santa' best defender at right back, but Bowen was slow and erratic n his kicking The intermediates worked hard but found it extremely difficult to keep the nippy Eastern forwards! under control.
POOR SHOOTING
The forwards were impressive In their approach work, but unce they got near the eul-mouth they seem- ed.all-at sea; instead of brading! straight for goal, they hidulged in 1oo much interpassing. which gave the Eastern definders sufflelent time to position themselves and often to rob them of the ball.
