NAVY SURPRISES S. CHINA

KOTEWALL CUP

CLUB'S SENSATIONAL

WIN

Leaders Still Ahead

Navy soored a meritorious victory over S. China yesterday in the Kotowall Cup played on the Sookunpoo ground by the odd goal in Ave after a spirited struggle. The sailors thoroughly de- served their victory as they played the better type of football, and but for their poor shooting ability would have added more to their score. By this victory Navy will have to play the Army for the destiny of the Cup.

Saturday's results in the senior league came off very much a: expected. The only sensation of the day was caused by the Club. snatching a two goal victory from the Athletic, while S, China "A". S: China "B", East Lancs.. Police and the Recreio came off on top.
