ARMY SPORTS

PARADE

I went along to the Hongkong Stadium last Sun- day to see both of the Army football teams in action against South China. In the first game, the Army suffered their first defeat in the reserve division by losing to South China by one goal to nil.

Cummings at inside-right was the outstanding player, and was at all times using the ball very intelligently.

The ball ran very unkindly, and there was no dis-

grace in this defeat.

No other player deserved any special mention, but i did feel that the half-bucks must really go after the ball, thereby taking some of the load off the over- worked full-backs.
