ROPE

(By "Wanderer.")

If St. Joseph's should win the Senior League championship and they may easily do so, it would not be unfair to describe them as the poorest team, as a team, to carry off premier honours in the last ton years. And yet, if they manage to pull it off, they will deserve it. They have one particular merit-it is the one which brings results and would probably rank first in a list of the qualities which make up an efficient side-they know how to take their chances.

In probably more than half the matches they have played this season, the opposition have estab- lished a superiority in the straight- forward clashes of midfield play and have left the field pointless, proclaiming themselves unlucky.

So It was on Saturday when St. Joseph's played Kowloon. Brilliant opportunism gave St. Joseph's full points. Kowloon went on the field with four reserves, Yeoman, Blake,

COLLAPSE IN SENIOR SHIELD GAME

(By "The Pilgrim”)

Out-played, out-classed, and out-paced, the Navy faded · in- gloriously from the Senior Shield- Competition before a large crowd at Caroline Hill on Saturday, when the South China scored five times without reply to enter the semi- final.

If the game had not been so one-sided, especially in the second half, it would have been a great exhibition of football; but in fact, the Chinese wove circles round the` slow moving sailors, defence and had too easy a task of it to show 'what they are really capable of.

though Bliss was guilty of a serious blunder in tactics which more than to the anything else contributed loss of the game.

In a lively St. Joseph's attack, Bertie Gosano was always the greatest potential danger, yet time and again he was left com- pletely unmarked and given a clear path for goal.

This was particularly noticeable in the closing stages when it was

HIGHLY SUCCESSFUL SPORTING AND SOCIAL EVENT

(By "Veritas").

Keen tennis and happy social intercourse, backed: by that hospitality which has become a household word among Hongkong residents who visit Shameen, all went towards making the visit of the Kowloon Cricket Club tennis team to Canton over the week-end an extremely enjoyable event.

For the first time during the more recent Borics of matches between the clubs, Indica were in- cluded in the teams, and the Innovation proved a success which ensures its permanency.
