GRIEVE DEFINITE ACQUISITION

(By "Referee")

ALTHOUGH Ireland lost the local Rugby Inter-

national Tournament after a substantial first] half lead, Scotland are to be congratulated on their brilliant revival, thanks to W. E Grieve, the former Shanghai centre-threequarter, who must have given the Colony Selectors an "eyeful."

premier League soccer clash between South China "B" and St. Joseph's at Kowloon yester- day, the result being a draw, both sides scoring twice.

Speed was the key-note throughout the game; much of the play was of the kick-and-rush variety, but there were frequent phases of methodical football, notably between Lim Tak-po,

Cheuk Shek-kam and Yeung Shui-yick.

On the other hand, the Saints relied mainly on Leonard to burst through on his own initiative, rather than on any defined. plan; their somewhat spasmodic play won them a point, but the Chinese played by far the more attractive game.
