Eastern Extended Fully To Beat Royal Navy
Chinese Steadier Side® But Nearly Upset By Robust Methods
Of
The Sailors
(By "SCRAMBLER")
EASTERN HAD SOME difficulty in overcoming the Navy yesterday at Causeway Bay in their Senior Football League match, winning by two goals to nil, scoring ono 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 steadinces held out, and not to be caught napping, they kept on with the same brand of smooth passing game which eventually got thém the goals.
Hard Working Duo
Although the score of two time with his tinely clearances and goals may suggest that Eastern interceptions, and many a time it was he who relieved a threatening situn- had matters their way, this was tion. Ils partner, S. Y. Yen, was not so, for during the first period good only in patches. of the game, despite being up against a strong wind, Navy pui up a very spirited defence; and 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 N Kee-cheong at back and Lo Wal- kuen and Isu King-sing in the in- termediate line' for their victory, for between the three of them, they held the the sailors' attack at bay for
realer part of the game. Neither team had their regular line up, and the Chinese substitutes, with the ex- ception
of Y.
S. Yen at back, did not come up to expectation,
Eastern were best served by the above three mentioned players. Ni Kee-cheong by his clever covering of Qui Yeung-tok, almost reduced the dunger from Hendy and Barber to all." He was for ever in the nick of

expense of only 38 runs.
AM a result of his brilliant bowling, Kowloon G.Ç, who were two men short, won by 131 runs, the 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 Jonly batsmen to reach double figures.
Against the deadly bowling of Fenton, the Sappers could only reply with 62, no less than five of the bats- men being dismissed for a “duck.” Tropp was the only batsman who put up any sort of a show and he scored 22 not oui,
