was not even serious
This game at the Club Stadium yesterday match practice for South China. They were so much in command of the situation that several of the players finished the game without so much as raising a sweat.
St. Joseph's on this display have many problems and they had little more than grit and determination to keep them going to the end.
South China were without Ko Po-koung and Yui Cheuk-yin but it made no! the slightest difference to their play. The left wing pairing of Mok Chun-wah and Chu Wing-wah was a great success, as well as providing real soccer entertainment. These two little men were soccer giants in everything except the art of finishing off their brilliant oatfield play and they kept the small crowd in happy mood until the end.

Good Performances At University Sports
By "RECORDER”
There was considerable activity in the local athletic world over the week-end and some good performances. Chan Wai-chuen's Shot Put record of 42 feet 3 inches in the invitational event held in connection with the University Sports was the most notable.
The South China giunt, after some four or five coaching sessions under the guidance of Mr G. B. Gurevitch, showed that the three-foot. improvement on his previous best was there to stay.
