SGT. RIBEIRO WINS CHAMPIONSHIP
GOOD PERFORMANCES IN ANNUAL RIFLE SHOOT
OUTSTANDING SUCCESSES FOR INFANTRY COMPANY
(By "Referee").
SERGT. Ribeiro of the Portuguese (Infantry) Company won the Hong Kong Volunteer De- fence Corps Rifle Championship at the annual meeting held yesterday on the Kowloon City Range, while Lieut. Sequeira, of the same unit, won the officers' prize from Lieut. Silva, the In- fantry taking the first three places.
Conditions on the whole were very good, al- though the light was bad during the last practice for the Corps Championship, and the scores as a result were poor. The same applied to the Blake Shield Competition.
Two good performances were put up during the afternoon. In the Tile Competition, the "A" team of the Right-Half Infan- try Company knocked down all 12 plates with 13 rounds a re- nurkably good performance.

superiority of the East Lancs over South China "A" it was certainly dispelled yesterday at Sookunpoo when the soldiers, for the second time this season, took both points from the Chinese in their First Division soccer encounter. The East Lancs' previous victory was a narrow one-they won by the odd goal-but yesterday's result was most convincing, the margin being 6 goals to 2...

Both teams made changes from Saturday's elevens. In the East Lancs' team, Mather and Horner were brought in on the
right-wing for Thorpe and Hunt. The Chinese eleven was very much weakened; Wong Mee-shun was played at centre-half in stead of Leung Wing-chlu; Ng Pokul and Chang Wing-kan took the Inside-right and outside-left positions, respectively; and Tang Yat-ming played between the sticks in place of Wong Wing
