GAME SPOILED BY MANY INFRINGEMENTS.

[By "Serum Half")

The United Services sprang a surprise yesterday afternoon when they defeated the Shanghai. fifteen by a goal and four tries (17 points) to a goal and two tries (11 points) in u game which was well below the Inter port standard.

Shanghai made one change in the side which went down before Hong Kong's fifteen, Waites coming into the three-quarter line in the place of Jenkins. The Services made one alteration in their aide, Charaley taking the place of Walker at the base of the scrum.

The game was very open up to half time, either side looked like winning, but in the second half the sterling display of the Services' forwards in the loose established a definite superiority, and allowed the three-quarters to be within striking distance of the line for the major part of the half.

SHAW'S BRILLIANT

As against Hong Kong, the Shanghai forwards were largely to blame for their defeat by the Unit- ed Services yesterday. They were he heavier pack and used their weight to advantage in the tight scrums, but in the loose they were completely outplayed by a pack of forwards with more than average weight and speed. In the line Juta Shanghai had the advantage f height and as a result had more than their share in this im- portant factor.
