INDIAN R.C., 6; UNITED F.C. 0. The Indians on Saturday played a very strong team, including W. & Hyder, S. Jackson and A. Bandram of the Kowloon League team, and Q Ismail of the St. Joseph's League team, in addition to the Best of their own players, in a friendly' match against the United F. C., who, not expecting strong opposition, were weakly represented, missing Blake and Brown.

The Indians found the going easy and did not take things very seriously. They scored three goals in the first half, W. A. Hyder, O. Ismail and O. Ramjahn being responsible. In the second moiety, W. A Hyder and G. A. Hyder scored a goal each. The other Indian forwards, not- ably Andree and Jackson, missed several

chances.
