SOUTH CHINA "A" BEATEN 2-1 BY EASTEN ELEVEN
LEAGUE HOPES JEOPARDISED BY REVERSE

(By "Fis-Half")
On Saturday afternoon on the Club ground, the team picked to represent the Club to play in the Interport against Malaya which takes place next Saturday, met a team drawn from the Rest of the Colony. It was obvious from the kick-off that Club would have a comfortable victory in view of the fact that not one of the regu lar Navy players was included in the. Rest team; and so it proved.
However, the game was far from Berry and Boo kicked penalty drab because the Rest forwards put goals for the Res!. Club were on upo great fight against their more muny occasions penalised for off-, formidable opponents, and it was not sides. untii
