Of the Civilian half-backs, McKelvie alone fulfilled all the responsibili- tien of half-back play and he was so busy looking after an execcd- ingly illusive winger that-it was somewhat surprising to find that the impotence of the wing in front even when plied with excellent passes did not discourage him en- tirely.

Goldman equalised with a great offort, but Tso gave his sido the lead again with a terrifle shot from a free kick nicely placed by Lam Yuk-ying. Before the inter- val, Goldman again burst through to beat Ip Chan-lung.

Compared with the Chinese for wards, the Civilian quintotle was a ragged one, and only Goldman and Gosano Indulged in anything like combination.

The Chinese were better bal- anced as was only to be expected, They were always dangerous in front of goal, and that they failed to scored more often is in itself a. tribute to the Civilian defence. Suen and Chan were the most dangerous wing, and it was superb
