(By "Abo")
Even without Suen Kam-shuén, their star forward, who has returned to Shanghai, probably for good, Eastern were able to defeat the Royal Scots yesterday at Sookunpoo in the first round of the Senior Soccer Shield. Leading by a goal to nil for three-quarters of the game, they were never really out of the woods until a penalty, given against the Scots, in the last five minutes of the match, put them in a safe position.
Prior to the penalty, the pune was After ten minutes, the Scots were very even and the issue was always awarded a free kick just outside the open. The Scots tried hard to penalty area.

NAVY SUCCESSFUL BY POINT IN FINE GAME
(By "Fly-Ilalf")
In a very exciting game on Saturday, the Navy de- feated the Club by the narrow margin of one point in the Triangular Rugby Tournament, the scores being 14 points (a goal and three tries) to 13 points (two goals and a penalty goal).
Indecision both in attack and defence by the Club led to their downfall. Once again the Navy scored valuable points at the onset of the game by scoring eight points in as many minutes. Right from the kick-off they went into attack ond, by quick passing, had the Club
