The

The Olympic Teams played two teams of the Colony. Colony's sides were not up to standard, China won both games and in the "A" match by a score of seven goals to one,

It was a deplorable fact that the Rest teams were weaker than was intended due to the absence of some of the selected players. Four of the Reserves were culled upon and had to play in both matches...

NAVY TO BLAME

The Army defeated the Navy yesterday at the Kowloon Football

Club ground, in the final of the Katewall Cup by two goals to one. after a hard game in which all the poirits were obtained in the first half. To the Navy supporters the game was most disappointing, for after being aggressors for ninety per cent, of the game, the Sentor Service had to bow lo an cleven that snapped any oppor- tunity in front of the goal that came their way.

Howlett, of the Royal Engineers ta, second division player who played in the centre forward posi- tion was the best example for this type of lay: he always looked dangerous in front of goal, but the opposite must be said of Spencer and his collegues.
