SOCCER RESULT

Cairo, Feb. 19.

The Young Boys of Berne were not one shade better than they were in the earlier games. They were still a lumbering, clumsy, heavy-footed lot but they deserved to win, and they deserved to win as deci- sively as the scoresheet indicates they did. The vital change was not in the winning side. It was to be found among the losers. This Chinese side did not! But those were not isolated af- over the position the second Juse.

President's XV 16-11 win

over Saigon tourists

By. "PROP"

At the Club Stadium on Saturday afternoon the team selected by the President of the Hongkong Rugby Football Union defeated the Cercle Sportif Saigonnaise by 16 points (two goals, two tries) to 11 (one goal, one try and a penalty goal).

The score just about reflects the superiority of the Hongkong side over their quick-thinking and speedy opponents, but the fact remains that had not the Hongkong side scored two tries which, to say the least were of an extremely doubtful nature, the visitors would have gone back to Saigon with one victory under their belts.

As it was, they lost, but they well held by Jean. McLean, difcetien of his full-back. It were a very popular side both however, followed a high kickfished short of the line and
