Proves Too Much Combination
(By "SCRAMBLER")
WITH AN ALL ROUND superior combination and understanding, Sing Tao were able to inflict a four-nil defeat on Kwong Wah yesterday in the first division of the Football league at Club ground. There was never any doubt as to the ultimate result of the game from the start, for Sing Tao went right off to work with their methodical team work of passing and combination.

DRIBBLING DOWN THE WING
Army Defeated 11-0 In Quadrangular Rugby Tournament
(By "Fly-half")
A ROUSING DISPLAY by Navy forwards backed up by sound defence behind the scrum, where Paul and Honeywell were prominent gave Navy victory over Army by 11 points (a goal and two tries) to nil in the Quadran- gular Rugby Tournament at Club ground on Saturday.
As in their game against Club a week ago, Navy pack.. obtained no advantage from the sot scrums or lincoats, in which departments Ford and Millar shone respectively for Army. But in the loose, Navy did a lot of attacking although they marred it on many an occasion when a heel was called for.
