COMMENTARY
Royal Navy Upset Sing Tao At Causeway Bay
Splendid Goal-keeping By Both Robinson And Cheong Wing-choy
(By "SCRAMBLER")
NAVY TEAM were responsible for one of the season's upsets in the premier division of the soccer league yesterday at Causeway Bay, when they inflicted a two to one defeat on the Sing Tao, one of the chief conten- dors for the Championship. The game was featured by the brilliant do- fence put up by the winners, and the superb goal-keeping of both Robinson and Choong Wing-choy.
EXCELLENT DEFENCE
Week-end Golf
The mainstay of the Navy team was their defence, W.C. Hung Wins
and, on the day's play, the Chinese had to take second
place, for despite the heroic work put in by Lee Tin-
sang and Hou Yung-sang, they were outclassed by backs that gave nothing away, and who by their robust and first-time tackling robbed the Chinese attack of much of their sting.
The Navy were full value for their points, for they kept up an incessant attack, supported fully by their intermediate trio. The work of Roughley and O'Regan at back atamped their display as par excellence, for it was due to this pair that most of the Chi-i nese attacks friltered away, for whenever the Chinese threaten- ed their gonl, it was either Roughley or O'Regan who would come up to relieve the situation by timely clearances. coverings and anticipations were 123 very much to the fore,

Rough Play In Club-Army Rugger Match
ROUGH PLAY, necessitating words of caution from the referee, was the feature of the Army-Club Quadran- gular Rugby Tournament match on the Club ground on Saturday, when Club beat Army by 5 points (a goal) to 3 (a try) after leading at the interval.
Poor handling somewhat marr ed the game, contributing as it
did to a disappointing standard of play. Weak paseing was in turn partly responsible for the poor handling. In this Car- ruthors, who figured in two brilliant rulis, rendered his efforts abortive in that his
passing was wild and impossible
