YESTERDAY'S BIG MATCH

THE BUSMEN FOLDED UP

AS SOUTH CHINA GAINED

THE ASCENDANCY

By "TOUCHWOOD”

No more tomfoolery, South China are taking no chances in the Senior Division League and they showed this by scoring three goals with two against them when they met Kowloon Motor Bus at Caroline Hill before a sellout crowd yesterday evening.

The Busmen, acknowledged as the terror team in the League for their rough ́and "tough soccer, were nothing terrible yesterday. They played anything but con- structive football and except for their brief first spell they folded up in the next when South China gained the ascendancy.
