Useful Change

Neither side made any change, except that Civilians shifted How- lett into the centre-forward pusi - tion in place of Gosano, who took over Howlett's berth at right-half.

Poor Marksmen

Army played very well as team and attacked for two-thirds of the game, but their forwards

were miserable in front of goal

and this factor was the main cause of their downfall.

Eastern scored their goals through Hyui Man-fai (3), Hau Ching-to (2) Kui Wing-fook (3), C. T. Tsao and Cheung Kam-hoi, while Kwong Wah's goals were Fraser, registered by Cheul: Shek-kam

Bright, the pivot, though brilliant, did some good work when Army were defending.

Hossack and Fox combined wel! in attack and also did well indi-

Wingers Not Used Another reason for Army's de- feat was their failure to use their wingers.

Howlett drew first blood for the Civilians about 10 minutes after the whistle by heading in a pass from Riertsen, and the same play- er placed his side in the lead soon

Fox, however, went straight through the Civilians' defence and beat Lansley with a grounder just before the interval to reduce the lead.

On the resumption, Army again applied pressure but were 'unable, to score.

After a good movement, Fowler added a further goal for the Civi lians, while Wier reduced the ar- rears from a scrimmage for the
