ST. JOSEPH'S SHOW LUCK OF STAMINA

IN ALL THEIR GAMES

Only Late Rally Saved Two Points

ELMS AGAIN OUTSTANDING

What is wrong with the St. Joseph's eleven?

It seems to be the rule rather than the exception, that they give n highly pleasing display in, the first half and then, after the in- tervat fall to pieces.

After having had practically all their own way during the first half they allowed Kowloon to turn the tables on them during the second half on Saturday, and only a very spirited revival in the last five minutes saved them from having to share the points or possibly, losing the game.

Elms at left-haif was again "the life of the party"-he played a wonderful gami. Very cool and deliberate In his work, his passes were perfection, and seldom "did Lee or White get past him into the danger

zone.

Fernandez also played a very good game on the left wing-he his was speed personitled and centres were little short of being 1 perfect.

Eastman had a tricky handful to hold in Fernandez and cannot be a called to account for allowing him to get through occasionally, Costa played a good game, his length-of limb being displayed and used to great advantage to the confusion of G White and his men.

Stout Fall Backs

Wong did not have much work, as Leonard and. Souza played ex tellently and the attack did not get too near the goal. Leonard played particularly well, his well placed clearance calling for ap- plause time and time again!

The St. Josephs' forward line, as a body, proved an excellent.com- bination, running through Kow- loon's defence at will during the first half, and Lee, at Inside-right, played a grand game. He worked
