ROYAL SCOTS CAUSE THE SEASON'S BIGGEST UPSET League Champions Lose Fine Record: Eastern In Form

BY "PILAT""

SOUTH CHINA "A" LOST THEIR FINE RECORD OF "NO- DEFEATS"." ON SATURDAY when the Royal Scots defeated the champlons by a solitary goal to register the biggest upset this

seasort

The Scots, on the day's play, were clearly the better side and thoroughly deserved to win. It was not until well in the second half after the Scots had scored their goal that the champions shook off their lethargy and show glimpses of their best form. The clos- ing minutes were very exciting and though South China forced two comers in succession they could not turn these to their advantage.

Hossack was in top form and, if sang, however, was not as sure in Le had been given more support his kicking as he is wont to be. by his inside men, would have accomplished better results though he had two good wingers in Munro and Gilroy,

Naysmith, and Fraser wolked hard in the defence and did a cred table job of blocking Lee Wal- tong who found two or three men on him every moment he got the ball,.
