The basic difference between those two teams
from the six goals on the final scoresheet simply summed up in one word, 'CLASS'. South China oozed class and polish in every section of their line-up. They had power and punch in generous ration and even the most critical Caroline Hill fan must have left the stadium yesterday afternoon satisfied that he had been treated to some real vintage football in this 6-0 victory. To counter this smooth-running machine the Royal Air Force could offer only unbounded enthusiasm, punctuated here and there by periods of good straightforward soccer, which in its turn was prejudiced by de- fensive lapses and inaccurate passing at vital stages of the game.

Limitations Of The Jet Age
By "RECORDER”
It is never easy to take soriously the first games of the Loague Cricket season, but I may assure you that the opening fixture of the season at Cox's Road, between the Kowloon Cricket Club and Croigengówer Cricket Club, was taken seriously by all concerned. KCC were even a little worried by the absence of Bob Bell as, it appears, word had got around that Craigengower had in late summer and early autumn signed on quite a few "dis coveries."
