ST. JOSEPH'S BEATEN BY EASTERN IN POOR GAME
WINNERS START
SHAKILY BUT END STRONGLY Play Never Rises Above
A Mediocre Standard
(By "Apo")
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 certain 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; Enstern 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 glaring faults marited the Saints play: the defence was too un- steady and is attack lon hurried in front of goal. In all other aspects. of the game, the Saints were rast- ern's equals in spite of the fact that Hau King-shing, at centre-half for the Chinese, was the best half-bnck on view.
Cruz, in the Saints' goal for the first time this season, was very shaky under pressure and never appeared really safe. Souza was the Sants best defender at right back. but Bowen was slow and erratie in his kiching. The Intermediates worked. fard but found it extremily dimeult) to keep the nippy Eastern forwards under control.
POOR SHOOTING
The forwards were impressive in their approach work, but once they got ntar the gual-moulh they seem-| ed all at went instead of bending straight for gon, they ndulged in too much interpassing, which gave the Eastern defenders sufficient time to position themarives and often to rob them of the ball.

occasions when is pass to the centr would have been more unstal, the Inside forwards would slip the ball out to the wing, only making their job harder. Their shooting also was
