TO-DAY'S big match at the H.K.C.C. is un- doubtedly the doubles encounter between Lee Wai-tong and Luk Ding-cheung, C.R.C. champions, and J. W. Leonard and Y. Hachiuma, Craigengower's first string pair.

I am inclined to favour Leonard and Hachiuma, despite the fact that they have clearly shown in the past that they are easily rattled. Lee has deteriorated lamentably this season, and the! Luk is of the impetuous; result will undoubtedly depend on him.

(By Referee")

HE Royal Navy scored a spectacular triumph in the First Division of the soccer League yesterday at Caroline Hill when they beat South China "A" by 2 goals to 1 in a clash featured by brilliant defensive tactics by the Navy backs and halves.

The inability of the South China halves to hold their oppos ing forwards in the latter stages of the game, and the miserable display of Lee Kwok-wai and Leung Wing-chin behind Lee Wai- tong and Tay Quee-liang, contributed in no small measure to the Navy's success and their own downfall.

Wolverson, the Navy left-back, was the outstanding player

on view, and came to the rescue of his side time and again with brilliant interceptions, while his clearances overhead by means of equally brilliant headwork, left the South China forwards spreadeagled.
