Macao Defeat Navy Officers At Hockey

Anderson, Kennedy And Steele-Perkins Shine For Losers: Almada's Fine Display Between Sticks

Macao, Sunday.

Exciting hockey was witnessed here this afternoon when the Royal Navy eleven, consisting of officers, met the first team of the Macao Hockey Club, but were defeated by 4 clear goals.

For Royal Navy, every player acquitted himself creditably, but major honours go to Anderson, left-winger, for his speed and ac- curacy, and to Kennedy, pivot, who showed extreme versatility throughout. Steele-Perkins' work in defence was pretty to watch,

Macao were, however, definite-
