HOCKEY IN KOWLOON,

NAVY AGAIN DEFEAT THE CLUB.

AFTER ASPIRITED EXHIBITION.

THE HONGKONG.

The opening stages of the second half saw the Club attacking en masse, but they seldom or never got past the backs who were using their feet to good advantage. Branson and Hinds played really well during this time. When the Navy trans ferred the play to the other side, Drew did one or two fine runs dows the field,

Unlike the Club forwards, who hesitated and tried too much dribbling in the circle, the Navy quintette knew exact ly when and how to get rid of the ball, Jones, the Club goal-keeper, saved numer ous shots and could not be blamed for those that went past him. Bonham Car tor was, of course, the pivot of the attack. His speed was a factor in his favour. The left wing, Cook and Drew, always played well, although the latter occasionally low. Curris played a great game at centre hall, backing up the efforts of the forwarda Hinds is a very clever little player who did some very clever work during the game. Jones was very hardworking. Both Branson and Stewart were forced to be on the qui vive for a #good part of the gaine. They were always confident and certain of their drives. Lane, in goal, enved at least three certain

For some few minutes after this, the "Club forwards spared themselves at least nothing in their efforts to score one goal. Evans, Braga, and Sim dia heaps of pretty individual play, but, whenever any combination was attempted, something always went wrong. Either the man to whom the ball was passed was not in his place, or the ball was inter cepted and cleared by one of the Navy defenders. Stewart and Branson played extremely well during this time, as, in- deed, throughout the game. The Club for wards had more than ons opportunity of shooting, but they were dribbling too much inside the circle. The Navy made spasmodic incursions to the other side, and in one of these, they scored their fifth goal. Bonham Carter and Cook ran the ball up between them, but Miller put the finishing touch, getting the ball past the goal-keeper. For the rest of the game, the Club, not in the least disheartened, made a determined effort to score The Navy were just as determined to add to their points, so the game became more fast and interesting than before. There was no more scoring, however, and the Navy left the field winners by 5 goals to

He got the better of Branson and passed to sim, who put in a feeble shot"just wide of the post. The Club kept on the aggressive, and Lane, in goal, was called upon to clear, which he did with a hefty drive When the ball was thrown in, Brand drove it right across the field, and a melee occurred and Evans sent in a hot shot. The goal-keeper was not aware that the ball was coming his way, and it was a stroke of luck for the Navy that the ball took the goal-keeper's pada square and rabounded into play, from where it was cleared with a mighty shot by Branson. For a few minutes after this, "the Navy had the best of the play. Drew, on the extremo left, was somewhat slow, but on one occasion when he put in an accurate centre, Bonham Carter was not in his place to roroive it. The play during this time was marked by very strenuous efforts on the part of the Navy forwards, who wore being extremely well served by their halves, and it was highly creditable that Hailton and Hickling kopt their goal in tact. The Club halves were putting in a lot of unobstrusive work and presently Mitchell gave the ball to Mackenzie. A

Not two mintes later, Bonham Carter was within an see of scoring. Jones ran out and kicked the ball away. For a while, the Club forwards pressed with vigour, and the Navy defence had an uncomfort able time. Broga and Evans worked unceasingly and Braga had two shots at goal which Jane saved. Shortly before half time, the Navy scored two goals. The first came from Bonham Carter, who ran right through the field and dodged both Hickling and Railton The second was acored just as much by Drew te by Cook. Drow put in some very pretty dribbling and shot, and Cook, following up got his stick into impact with that of the goal keeper and the ball went into gosh, Jones
