C. CHINESE DEFEAT THE REST
CHARITY SOCCER GAME AT C. BAY SPIERS & PEARSON IN LIMELIGHT
The Charity football game at Causeway Bay yesterday between the Combined Chinese and the Rest of the Colony did not produce soccer of a high standard, although the game was on the whole inter- esting, clean and keen football be- ing featured.
The Chinese won by the odd goal in seven and, but for an early in- jury to Costa, in the first half, they would have been fully extended.
Spiers was brought into the team atcentre-half in place of D Leonard, who moved to inside- right owing to Ward's absence, and

"SHOCKED"
(By "REFEREE)
KOWLOON owed their victory over South China "A" to a junior player recently promoted, in Bulpin, while the Kowloon intermediate line gave a wonderful display of defensive tactics, Bliss, Evans and Connor being responsible for the failure of the Chinese to score. South China played the prettier scocer, but Kowloon scored the goal

The absence of Tam Kong-pak from the defence and of Lee Wai-tong from their attack was very apparent on Saturday. Tam's uncanny sense of anticipation and his delightful headwork were al- ways a pleasure to witness, while Lee's vacancy in the centre forward position, will leave a kind of emptiness which will be hard to obli terate. I hear that South China will make an application to the local Association to lift their ban off Tam for the Islington Corin- thians match next season and it will be interesting to see what materialises.

Little was seen of Sung Ling- sing, at centre-half while Lau Hing- choi and Cheung Kim-fai deputised splendidly for Leung Wing-chui and Lee Kwok-wai, as wing halves.
Evans opened the scoring and a few minutes later Lee Tin-sang headed into his own net. Han Ching- to and Lai Shui-wing scored for the Chinese before the interval to level the scores..
In the second-half, Lee Tak-kee scored to give the Chniese the lend for the first time, but Leonard equalised soon after. Lai Shui-wing scored the winning goal a few minutes before time when he beat Bowlands with a well-placed shot.
