Probables And Improbables In Week-End Matches
(BY "PIVOT")
For the flest time this season, the potential Senior Cham- plon, South China "A", were very nearly defeated last Sunday' when they just managed to snatch the victory from the Lincolns by the odd goal in three. If any team was unlucky not to have achieved the almost impossible, Lincolns was the one de cause on the run of the play they were slightly the superior side, but only a lack of cohesive methods nullified their me." thods.

Ridley was the arch schemer throughout, and his combination with Baldry provided the Chinese with a little problem. The scld lers' defence too came out of the struggle with flying colours whie Read in goal was very prominent with his clearances.

The Portuguese forward ine was also well to the fore, but B. Go sano was too well watched to be of much use while the Alves- Gomes combination on the left flank gave the Chinese the most of trouble.
The Chinese defence was well served by Lat Kwok Chiu whose policing methods over B. Gosane spoilt many of the Recreio's smart movements while Ho Chor Yin worked hard on the right flank.
