A word about the arrangements for the Press. First of all, the official time of a race is not made available. The distance separating the first and second ponies is also not available. In the little struc ture which goes under the dignified name of Press Box" there are only two chairs, apparently one for cach of the papers publishing on

civilians, who put up an indifferent display, much to the disappoitit- meat of their many supporters. The soldiers played well in every department of the game, and look- ed, when the interval arrived, as if they would make mincemeat of the home defence.

However, in the second ball, the home team pulled themselves together and scored two goals, both of which, incidentally, were due not so much to brilliant to goalkeeping faults on play ns the part of Shears. Kowloon's de fent has sent them well down in

They are five points behind the Borderers, with four games in hand, and there should be a close race between "these two teams for the senior honour.
