SOUTH CHINA AND ARMY TO MEET IN BOTH SENIOR AND JUNIOR FINAL TIES

By I. M. MacTavish

Local soccer history was made over the week-end when South China and the Army qualified to meet each other in both the Senior and Junior Shield Competitions. It is believed that this is the first time that the same two teams have met in the two finals.

South China beat Kitchee 1-6 and 3-2 in the semi-finals of both competitions yesterday while the Army qualified by defeating Club 4-1 in the Senior competition and Eastern 6-1 in the Junior one on Saturday.

BEAT ENGLAND

Johannesburg, Feb. 13.

Two years ago, in Perth, an assured newspaperman approached Jack Cheetham, captain of the touring South African cricket team, soon after his arrival in Australia and asked in what position he would be batting in tho Tests. Cheetham looked at him rather shyly and said: "Well, I have to win my place in the side first before I can think of that,"

That reply nently epitomises the character of the modest South African captain. There are no delusions But his pleasant, smiling of grandeur about Cheetham. face which induced newspapermen to nickname him "Happy Jack" in Australia clanks a steely personality In which courage and tenacity and single-mindedness of pur- pose figure largely among other excellent qualities.
