A FAMOUS VICTORY. South China's Defence Collapses.

South China can offer little excuse for their crushing defeat at the hands of the Navy. It was one of those days, experienced by most teams at one time or another, when nothing seemed to go right. The result was decided when the second half was only ten minutes old. In that period, the Navy took the score from 1-1 at the interval to 3-1 in their favour.

Two anap goals at this criticnl perlod took all the "go" out of South China, and the defence collapsed ignominously, conceding three fur- ther goals before the end.

The tenour of the play in the first half gave no indication of what was to follow. South China were fighting hard, though it was obvious that the side was not working with its usual smoothness, I was in accord with the run of the play when Kernick gave the Navy the lead. It was a typical Kernick effort. lie suapped up a neat pass, 'cluded Li Tin-sung with a delightful manoeuvre and left Pau Ka-ping helpless with a fast shot from ten yards. South China re- never -over- sponded, but were impressive, and not until a pennily was awarded did they look like scoring, Fung King-cheong made no mistake from the spot, and the sides were level at the interval.

The Navy, were slightly the bet- ter of the two sides in the first half. Barkham and Greenland had the Lau Man-Ip Pak-wa wing in their nocket with the result that Söćih China's biggest guns were "spiked" so to speak. At the same time, the defence had been stolid as usual, with Pau Ka-ping. In-brilliant form. An amazing transformation took place on the restart. Cang broke clean through two minutes after the whistle had blown and beat Paul enally, and very soon afterwards, the ball was In the net again, through a had defensive error. South China had no heart left and the Navy did much as they willed. Kernick got the fourth, Cann the fifth, and Preston the sixth.

It would hardly be fair to judge South China on their second half display. They seemed to miss Yu Cheuk-wa, for white Lau Kaur kicked cleanly, ho was toś impetuous and if beaten was slow to recover Van Tromp and Firth made the most of hla deficiencies and with Kernick and Preston in equally good, form,, Cann in the centre would have been a poor player Indeed if he had not. shown up prominently also.

such as would justify hopes of a loague championship. No reason able complaint could be made against any one section of the team but they were never together quite as they should have been, and there was a suspicion of time-wasting "as far as the half- backs were concerned.

McKelvie, though playing at In- side-right, was devoting himself

largely to half-back play, and he kept the forwards on the move with some superb passes while, at the same time leaving Easterbrook free to check the Recreio's most dangerous man, Goaano. The re- sult was that Gosang was effer. tively smothered and he was sol- dora given an opportunity of shooting."

The Queen's defence had many anxious moments thereafter, but Hooper and Sharp played up magnificently.

RECREIO GO DOWN. Kowloon A Shade Too Good...

Kowloon scored a nice win over

the Recreto, gaining a lead of two clear goals before their opponents were galvanised into response. Onen having scored, the Recreio gave a much brighter display and they attacked strongly in the last ten minutes, Kowloon having some anxious moments.

For the most part, however, Kowloon were the better team The Recreio started with ten men, and not until the game had been in progress for twenty minutes did the eleventh man, a reserve como on the field. It was soon after his arrival that Kowloon opened the scoring.

Xavier and Sliva-Netto had taken up positions invitingly wide apart and Spary took full advantage of the opening, pushing up a delight ful through pass for Miles to snap

Kowloon gave an improved dis- play, though the forwards are still wenk. McKelvie's return to the side made an immense difference. He kept both wings well plied. Pile and Robson were splendid defenders, the former's anticipa- tion saving his side on several occasions. Hedley was the pick of a fair half-back line,

The Reerals were well served forward, and would have given a better account of themselves had the defence been of the anno calibre. The wing half-backs were weak, however, and Xavier was not kicking with his usual accuracy.

Brown and Rocha were the most dangerous wing, though Gosano II put In many delightful centres in course of the game.
