SOUTH CHINA WON THE FIRST GAME OF THE KOTEWALL CHARITY CUP FOOTBALL SERIES WHEN THEY BEAT NAVY BY 3 GOALS TO 1 AT SOOKUNPOO YESTERDAY AFTER LEADING AT THE INTERVAL BY TWO CLEAR GOALS,

Navy were unable to field their best team for various reasons and! though the reserves did as

well as could be expected the general combination and understanding of the team was absent. South China were at full strength.

The game was far from exciting and neither team showed up well The Navy forwards were seen in several good inovements but their efforts failed in front of goal. At the other end the Chinese for- wards were not so dangerous ax usual due in no small measure to the good work of Hazard in the centre-half position and Honey - well at right-half.

Neither of the South China wingers did much work of real value. Lee Tak-kee showed good ball control and dribbled well but he rarely sent over any good cen- tres. On the other wing Lee Shek-you was very erratic in his shooting when well placed and his centring was on the whole poor.

Lee Wai-tong scored all the goals for his side. Both Chan Tak- fal and Chau Man-chi were good in their approach work but lack- ed finish.

THE ATTRACTIVE Spanish player, Senorita Lili de Alvarez, or, to give her her married name, the Countess Jean de Galliard de la Valdene, is in the news again.

Little had been heard of her in lawn tennis activities for some time, but she has apparently been playing in Spain for she had been placed at the top of the first rank- ing list ever issued by the Spanish Lawn Tennis Association.

Senorita Pepa de Chavarri and Senora de Davila are placed second and third, while the men's list is headed by the Davis Cup player, Juan Manuel Blanc, with L. Carlos second and P. Castella third.

Good Year

Countess Valdene first really came into presinence round about 1926 and she came very near to winning both the Wimbledon and French

championships She was runner-up in the Wim- bledon championships for three consecutive years (1926-7-8).
