Start of the Season

a blaze of sunshine, and a temperature making the most exacting demands of players, league football opened in Hongkong on Saturday. Results ran pretty well accord- ing to expectations, although the Borderers came a nasty tumble in the second division against the Navy.'

SPEAKING generally the standard of play was worthy, and all teams acquitted themselves well. Yesterday, up to the time a heavy rain storm broke over the ground, South China and Athletic engaged in a classic exhibition of football. But the players' spirits drooped in sympathy with the condi- tions, and all the sparkle went out of the con- test during the last 20 minutes.
