THE WATER POLO LEAGUE.

KOWLOON ACCOUNTS FOR ROYAL NAVY:

BORDERERS BEAT CHINESE “A.”-

TWO LOW SCORING GAMES.

[Dr "WATERMAN ".}

Playing at the V.R.C. yesterday evening, the. Kowloon Swim- ming Club défented the Royal Navy by 2 goals to D in a closely contested game. The Chinese "A" after a hard tussle with the K.O.S.B. "A" went under by the odd goal in three.

The matches were notable for the low scores and the general standard of the games are improving. KOWLOON "A" V. ROYAL

NAVY.

The Kowloon team could not score in the first hall of their match against the Navy, who held them down by "sticking to the men." In the second half, however, the pres sure was too great and Simpson scored twice for the Peninsula side.

The Game.

Kowloon pressed from the start, bat the sailors had their eyes on Simpson the Kowloon's "star" centre forward and things did not go as merrily as Kowloon would have wished. Play was confined to the Navy's side and though Kow

on tried again and again to take. the lead, the Navy backs held the fort well. The Navy broke through after about three minutes play and had an opportunity to scare but Sinith shot tamely.

At the other end Kerr missed a good opportunity when he over- threw at close range. Immediately afterwards he had another chance And this time he struck the hori

zutal. Simpson was well marked and had little opportunity to use his damaging backhand. Just be fore the interval he had one chance but missed the goal by inches. At half time Kowloon, although they had monopolised the game, had not scored.

Second Hall.

The sailors put up a better show during the second half, but Kow- loon re-shuffled their team, Rail- ton playing centre half and Logan going forward. This proved much better than the original arrange ment and Railton played well in

I should be failing in my duty as a sport eritic if I allowed a certain incident at the V.R.C. night fête last Saturday to pass without comment. I refer to the boys' race, which was won by Master Lau. This young swimmer was given a very handsome start by the handi- cappers because, I understand, he was timed in the bath a few days before the race, and gave the im- pression that his form justified a long handicap. I am open to cer
