In the 11th minute the score lengthened to 4-nil when Miss West- cott, after a fast solo dash, picked up Miss Woolley's long pass. The winger beat the Shanghat keeper at point- blank and with great ease, there being

The Hong Kong forward line lived up to its reputation of being fast and nippy. The two wingers, Miss Westcott on the left and Mrs. Burnett on the other extreme, thrilled the crowd with scintillating runs. On many occasions they left their opponent behind and crossed the ball over for perfect centres. Mrs. Read proved an able leader left back just managed to brush aside at centre. She was
