Kowloon sadly disappointed their Rupporters on their own ground by failing to score, and it must be con- ceded that the lowly placed Chinese XI set up a good fight. In the first half Kowloon played pretty foot- ball, but the passing near goal was faulty and overdone, and South China, by hefty kicking, kept their goal safe.
Teams:-
Scots Guards:-Jackson; Hurst, Johnson; Carswell, Scott, Hunter; McLeish, Penke, Robinson, McNiven, and Chapman.

Surprise of the Day,

were, the better aide. Clark pulled a little Interport form out for this match, and all'Gosano's and Silva's efforts were frustrated,
The game was very exciting, and the defences on both sides were kept busy, Brown had hard lines, a nice centre just being got away by Wynne, and shortly afterward Clarke saved a tenaer from Silva, the Recrete being very lively.
The second half was very keen and after severe pressure Gosano struck the crossbar, the Police at A confid- this stage being lucky, ent appeal for "hands" against Wynne was ignored by the referee and, in a last desperate effort, after a fine bit of work, by Rocha, the Recreio looked all over scorers, but the Police just managed to keep their goal intact and time was an- nounced with honours oven.
