WEEK-END SOFTBALL

A KITCHEE CAPITULATION Dodgers

Delightful Display Of Man-To-Man Football By South China

By I. M. MACTAVISH

THUMP!! With a crash that could be heard all over the ground Mok Chun-wah's boot met a high lob from the right....it was every inch a victory volley and the ball flew like a streak of lightning to the back of the not.

The Caroline Hill Stadium clock showed the game had been in progress for just under five minutes but it was the beginning of the end.

It was

a glorious goal that set South China proudly on their success: by the same token it way to a spectacular 6-1 consigned Kitchee to a complete humiliation.

CLUB "B" UPSET POLICE IN WEEK-END RUGGER

By PAK LO

Once again Club "B" have astounded the critics by winning yet another

game, and at the

same time on Saturday greatly upsetting the favoured and stronger Police XV by three points (one dropped goal) to nil.

In the other match at Boundary Street the Navy with their more power- ful three line comfortably beat the RAMC by 21 points (three goals, two tries) to five (one goal) in a rather scrappy match.

Neither of these two games on

Saturday was outstanding, with

the forwards in both cases being fairly evenly balanced and fail- ing to get the ball away clean-
