ARMY HALF-BACKS COLLAPSE

Yiu Cheuk-Yin Leads SCAA

To Easy Victory As Army. Retreat To Defeat

By I. M. MACTAVISH

What B sad anti-climax this game turned out to be. By defeating the Police last week the Army gave it an air of importance that was never justified while all the South China-inspired ballyhoo of ground switching was just so much wasted effort.

Had the match been played at Caroline Hill as originally planned there would still have been plenty of empty seats for fewer than 15,000 fans turned up at the Hongkong Stadium and they must have been disappointed.
