CHINA'S AUSPICIOUS START IN THE OLYMPICS
SHARE MAJOR HONOURS WITH PHILIPPINES
JAPAN LOSE FOOTBALL, BASKETBALL AND VOLLEYBALL
CHINA undoubtedly carried off the leading honours in the first two days of the Far Eastern Olympics meet which started in Manila on Saturday, winning the football against the Philippinos, the Basketball against Japan and the Volleyball against Japan. CHINA'S defeats included baseball against
the Philippines, tennis against Japan and the girls volleyball against the Philippines. HONGKONG footballers were in brilliant
form for the soccer match. Tam Kong- pak, who has headed more goals than any other local player, nodded the ball into the net for the first point, and Lee Wai-tong quite naturally scored the second.
THE opening of the Games on Saturday was a colourful sceno, marked by impressive coremony and displays of enthusiasm by thousands of spectators.
