Eastern Beat Kwong Convincing Rugger Win By Navy Fifteen
Wah In Close Match
Wong King-chung Plays An Excellent Game
(By "SCRAMBLER")
THE FORM DISPLAYED by Eastern in their senior football encounter against Kwong Wah yesterday on Caroline Hill did not strike one as that of a league winning team. But for the fact that they were aided by a penalty for a doubtful infringement, they would not have obtained both points by the odd goal in five.
Kwong Wah had as much of the play as their op- ponents, but poor finishing nullified the good work put in by their left winger, Wong King-chung. Eastern indulged qin far too much petty passes and individualistic work, with the result that their finishes in front of goal were woefully weak. Their approach work was good, but up to a cer- tain point, they invariably overdid it.

Several attempts were made t scored by Wong King-chung, who, receiving a pass from Cheuk, Shek-kam, cut in to score with a daisy cutter that gave Lau Hin-hon no chance. This Jopp was short lived, for the Eastern returned to the attack thereafter, and from a pass by Tao Chow-fu, Hau Ching-tau cut in from what appeared to be an offside position to put his team on level terms.
Play was very oven at this period, both goals were visited in turn, and had the Kwong Woh forwards ac- cepted the passes presented by Wong King-chung, they would at least have been two goals up. Lae Kwok-kee
