Kwong Wah Fortunate To Draw England Deservedly Beat
Navy Forwards Fail At Critical TÜSSLE IN SCOTS GOAL-MOUTH
Moments: Chinese Defence Holds Out
(By "Scrambler")
FIELDING an all Chinese team for 'tho. first time this season, Kwong Wah wore decidedly for- tunate to snatch a point from the Royal Navy yes- terday when they met at Causeway Bay in their First Division football game, sharing eight goals. Though the standard of play served up by both teams was not up to First Division standard, novertheless, the game was not without its ox- citoment.
The sUppery state of the ground and ball were not. conducive to good football, and the Navy were able to adapt themselves to the conditions more easily than the Kwong Wah. The bright spots in the game were the fine display given by Le Page and Phippens on the Navy's right flank, and Cheuk Shek-kam and Wong King-chung on Kwong Wah's left flank. Danger from either team in- variable came from these sources.
HOW TEAMS "FARED
First Division
The Navy were unlucky not [********** to have got away with the two points, for during the greater part of the second half they were on the offensive and had the Kwong Wah penned in their South Chinn
Kowloon own half. Hendy was a great Club trler and aided and abetted Le Sing Too
Navy Page and Phippens to a great extent in their fine display, while Maughan and Bourne were only mediocre,
Had the Navy forwards moved the ball about more frequently instead of trying to take it up to the feet of their opponents, more goals would have been produced.
SOUND DEFENCE

forwards, but the first named was not very much at home against the nippy Cheuk Shek-kam Wong King- cheung, the live wire of Kwong Woh's attack. Roughly was his usual self and Honeywell, always had the best of the Chinese right winger.
Kwong Wah were always danger- ous when on the move, and many of their
attacks should have been better rewarded but for their own

India 25-13 In Läst Bowls Game Of Year

Rakusen once again chose to match hls opponent's play rather than em- bark on tactics of his own. He seem ed purposely to refrain from drawing to the jack, not leaving any rests for Abbas. This, however, on form, was seemingly unnecessary, for Abbas was seldom threatening.
