There was plenty of humour to be obtained from the game, and at times there was some really good individual play, Booker, for the Police, and Robinson and Tod, for the Clab, coming inte pro- minenco again and again. The first-named is very accomplished forward, and it | is not creditable to the Police that he should have been kept out of the team any regard to his undoubted Football ability. The Club custodian saved a hot shot from this forward soon after the start, but was eventually beaten by Booker, who scored with a beautiful shot in the corner. Robinson and Stewart pestered the Policemen with their efforts at the other and, while Stalker required a deal of watching. In the second half Stewart was rendered comparatively harmless through injury, The Police, who had the assistance of several Army men, defended gallantly, and bent off the attacks of the Hongkong forwards, who failed to reply to the goal scored for the Police, and accordingly lost by a goal

Against a side that had a tremendous advantage in weight-the liveliness of their opponents' goalkeeper notwithstand ing the little Queen's College boys put very creditable performance on up a Saturday, and won on their merits by 2 goals to. 1. The encounter was not pro duetive of any really good football, the gawky Rovers mostly Artillerymen who do not play in senior football-making a most absurd hash of things on occasions, while their substantial argument in the way of weight frightened the Collegians off their usual neat game. The Rovers were very strong in defence, however, the right back clearing his line powerfully and intelligently. Fletcher rushed the Collegians' first point, and the inside right, following a beautiful contre from the left, obtained the decider.

CONFUCIANS OVERWHELM THE LUSITANO CLUB, TAMIN The Portuguese boys were outplayed in every department of the game in their encounter with the clever Confucians on Saturday, and never looked liked beating their opponents. The Chinese team is a

well-balanced combination, strong in. very defence, and clever in attacks, and their play was a splendid example of what effective cohesion can accomplish There was a remarkable understanding between the playera, and the Iceding of their for wards by the Confusions intermediate line was a thing much to be admired. The Lusitano Club were badly let down in defence, R. A. Carvalho alone seeming to know what to do with the ball.
