ST. JOSEPH'S SPRING SURPRISE

(BY BEN MEDIGAN)

Lee Wal-tong, the idol of the Chinese football fans, made a re-appearance in League football yesterday when he turned out for South China “A” against St. Joseph's at Sookúnpoo when the latter brought off a sensational win by the odd goal in three..

The fact thai Lee was turning out for the Chinese team sent the thousands of Chinese supporters into a roar of excite- ment, and when their favourite appeared on the field he was riven a tumultous ovation.

So far as the game itself was concerned, there was excite- ment enough packed into the short space of 90 minutes when first one side and then the other attacked in turn, and while the College team was perhaps somewhat lucky in taking the points, the outstanding player on the field was without a doubt Lee Wal-tong who, despite the fact that he had not played in the League since his return from the Berlin Olymple Games, was head and shoulders above the rest of the players on view. St. Joseph's kicked off and Omar WEEK-END RESULTS

UNEXPECTED GOAL From a St. Joseph's breakaway Leonard scored at unexpected goal, somewhat against the run of play. This goal added new life

SECOND HALF

The second half opened briskly. The first incident of note was a dazzling run down the right wing by Tee Kwat-shing, his final centre being charged down. Lee Wal- tong was "schemer-in-chief" of the Chinese forward line and was xtremely unlucky in not scoring on many occasions.

Wong Mel-shun fouled Hagan and Leonard drove in a hot shot which was brilliantly, dealt with by Pau Ka-ping. Almost imme- diately Fernandez scored a goal which was hotly disputed by the Chinese players, their protest being of no avail, as the referee" ruled a goat...
