SPECTACULAR SECOND HALF RALLY BY EASTERN
Cheung Wing-choi Saves Rugby Football
South China "B" From TRIANGULAR
Heavy
Defeat
(By "Rox")
Staging a spectacular socond half rally, dur- ing which their forwards completely swamped the South China “B” goal arca, Eastern advanced still further up the League table yesterday when they won by the narrow margin of two goals to ono, after a goalless first half. Cheung Wing-choi gave one of his finest performances in goal and was largely responsible for the low score.
Eastern mado several changes in their line up. Cheng Yiu-· luen took the place of Kong Sin-keng, their star left back who was ill. The introduction of Lee Tak-kec, a transfer from the St. Joseph's, to the centre-forward berth, failed to bolster up their attack which, on their present showing needs, I think, some drastic changes if it is to be classed among the finest in the Colony. They were anything but impressive.

Famous Tennis Player Reported Missing: Mlle. Jedrzejowska
LONDON, Nov. 23.
With the thought of so many people turning to Poland recently it seems only natural that tennis enthusiasts should be inquiring as to the whereabouts of that great Polish woman player, Mlle. Jadwiga Jedrzejowska, who has always been so popular at Wim- bledon and indeed at nearly every tennis centro in the world.
A close friend of Mile. Jedrzejow- ska has stated that she had news

Stewart was the Club's' star man if only through his two tries. They were both brilliant efforts and never looked like potential scores.j He had to smash his way through the Army defence which had pinned him prac- tically onto the touch line, yet despite this they were taken completely by surprise by Stewart's amazing speed, and neglected to bring down the wing man by low tackles.

FIERY ARMY PACK
INDIANS' INEPT BATTING
One lesson the Indian RC. seconds learned in their game with the Kow- loon C.C. at Sookcunpeo last Saturday I was that they will have to inprovo their batting considerably if they are to make anything of a show in the Cricket League next month.
Inclined to be weak at the best of ilmes, the Indians aro particularly inept when up against mediumt-paced or fastish bowling.
Tisis was demonstrated on Saturday when E.C.F. Curtia bowled well for the K.C.C. to take five wickets for 14 runs, Hls steady medium-to-fast stuff had the Indian batsmen eating out of his band most of the time, and hls success was fully deserved.
A newcomer to local cricket, Curtis strikes one as being a very useful junior bowler and, unless Brat im- pressions are deceptive, is likely to take a crop of wickets in the Junior League this season,
Although Mills, another newcomer In the K.C.C. side, captured three wickets for 18, he was not as im- pressive as Curtis. Nancarrow pro- bcbly deserved belter figures thon the two wickets which he actu ally took. He has a fine action, but would undoubtedly have been much nore effective had he bowled just outside the off-stump instead of either idend at the wicket or on the leg.
Only A. K. Minu (28) and T. All (21 not out) made any sort of a stand nguinst the K.C.C. bowlers; the others just come and departed.
