the old popular song which expressed that sèntiment might well have been written for the changing scene at Caroline Hill over the weekend. On Saturday the crowd thrilled to. the pulsating encounter be- tween Kitchee and Eastern. If they went back to the same ground yesterday in anticipation of a repeat performance they must have been bitterly disappointed. Tung Wah gained two more valuable points by scoring a 3-1 victory over the Army but oh, what a dreary game it turned out to be.
