'Chinese' and Navy' Eliminated

The Army team defeated, the Chinese by the odd goal in three contrary to expectations and they will now meet the Civilians in the final. Playing a class of football that nonplussed the Chinese de- fence at times and being superior in all phases of the game, the 'Army were worthy victors.

In the first half the Army were playing better football, thanks to their defence, especially Morrison, who played a sterling game.

Tam Kong Pak and Wong Mec Shun played a very forceful and useful game but they were up against an Inspired opposition and their efforts were nullifed.

The Army took a very early lead, Pardoe taking a snap shot at goal through a bunch of players with the Chinese custodian mo- mentarily unsighted.
