Interport football team score a thoroughly deserved victory over Shang- hai in a mud battle, the first quarter of which was played in a steady drizzle which later chang- ed into a very heavy snowstorm!

Both teams battled to a standstill, the play- ers just walking round in the last 10 minutes.

Hong Kong's machine-like forward line showed perfect com- bination. Talbot, Leonard and Gosano were outstanding, while George Rodger, the Colony custodian, brought off many grand saves. Swain and Pile, the Colony full-backs, were a pair of staunch defenders.

Pte. Swain, left, the right-back, and Fus. Talbot, the inside-left, both made succesful debuts in the Interport football series against Shanghai yesterday.
