Hockey:

Police unlucky to lose to HK Hockey Club

Polico may consider themselves unlucky that they did not at least share the points at King's Park yesterday when the Hong Kong Hockey 'Club beat them by four goals to three in a hockey fixture.

The game was characterised by hard hitting, much of it regrettably indiscriminate, with, the re- sult that few players enhanced their reputa- tion.
