EASTERN HAD NO difficulty in overcoming the Navy yesterday at Causeway Bay in their Senior Football League match, winning by two- goals to nil, scoring one goal in each half. A strong wind prevented good football and not only made ball control difficult but was also responsible for the deceptive flight of the ball.
Eastern were very nearly upset by the robust methods adopted by the Navy in their tackling at one period of the game, but their steadiness held out, and not to be caught napping, they kept on with the same brand of smooth passing game which eventually got them the goals.
Although the score of two goals may suggest that Eastern hnd matters their way, this was not se, for during the first period of the game, despite being up against a strong wind, Navy put up a very spirited defence: und it was not till the closing minute of the first half that the Chinese were able to penetrate the de- fence.

Eastern had much to thank Ng Kee-cheong at back and Lo Wal- kuen and King-sing in the in- termediate line for their victory, for between the three of them, they held the sailors' attack at bay for greater part of the game. Neither Learn had their regular line up, and the Chinese substitutes, with the ex ception of S. Y. Yen at back, did not come up to expectation..

RARE FEAT BY FENTON

A rare bowling feat was performed by J. Fenton of the Kowloon C.C. yesterday, when he took ten wickets against the Royal Engineers, in a friendly cricket match as-Sookunpoo. - - at the expense of only 30 runs, As a result of lils brilliant bowling, Kowloon C.C, who wężo two men aliert, won by 131 runs, tho, match ending nearly two hours before time. Kowloon C.C. batted first and scored, 193, largely thanks to D.J.N. Anderson and N. A. E. Mackay, who hit up 82 not out and 67 respectively. They and Fenton, who scored ten, were the only batsmen to reach double figures.
Against the deadly bowling of Fenton, the Sappers couki only reply with 02, no less than five of the bais- men being dismissed for a "duck." Tropp was the only batman who put up any sort of a show and be scored 22 not out.
