THE IMPETUOUS fresh blood of Eastern went down to the experienced veterans of South China "A" in the local soccer classic by three goals to two at the Club ground yesterday, before a ter- rific crowd, the major part of which wore clamour- Ing for admittance half an hour before the whistle.
Easter led two goals to nil in the first half, and the result appeared a foregone conclusion, but the sages wise-.. ly shook their heads and said Eastern had beaten them- selves in the manner they went about getting that lead, and sure enough the turning point came in the last minute of the game when they could not rally quick enough to one of the most stop Lee Wai-tong from scoring spectacular. goals of his career.

Careless Passing And Faulty Handling In Final Match
(By "Fly-half")
IN A GAME marred by careless passing and faulty handling, Army just managed to retain their first half. lead of 5 points (a goal) to 3 (a try) against the Navy at Causeway Bay on Saturday, and thus earned for them- selves the runners-up
Triangular position in the Tournament.
The Navy backs were very much below form, and were guilty of lying out of position and bad handling. Time and again attacking movements broke down before the attackers came in contact with the defenders.
Pieton, at full-back, endanger- ed his own line time and again through allowing the ball to bounce before gathering. He made a bad mistake when he chased back after an attempt to kick to touch by Wright, and stopped the ball with one hand when in full stride. He had to come back and found Kennedy upon the ball. His dive. pre- vented Kennedy from going over, but the ball rolled free for Wright to gather and fall over
the line.
