3-1 TRIUMPH FOR SING TAO
South China Attack Broken By Brilliant Half-back Defence
(By "SCRAMBLER")
ADAPTING THEMSELVES QUICKER to wet conditions and a slip- pory ball occasioned by the drizzle which fell prior to their match against South China yesterday at the Hongkong Football Club Ground, Sing Tao gavo a much improved display to come out on top by three goals to one. Their display yesterday had the earmark of a planned campaign, for every movement was oxecuted with fino understanding among the players.

Their supposed liability, the intermediate trio, turned | out to be their chief asset, for besides bottling up the re- doubtable Lee Wai-tong, they had the forwards well Eastern covered, and found much time, too, to help along with China the attacks. Leung Wing-chiu made a welcome return idlesex to the team, and played a great game at the centre half R. Navy berth where his covering of Chan Tak-fai and Chow Man-, Scots chi was outstanding.
