COLONY HOCKEY -XI SCORES

(By R. H. B.)

Two delightful goals, one in each half, scored by Gurbachan Singh, the brilliant interporter and Kowloon Indians Tennis Club player, sealed the fate of the Shanghai German Hockey Club when they met Hongkong in their first match on local soil at the Navy ground at King's Park on Saturday after-

noon.

fairly The game attracted a Jarge number of spectators and those present included Herr Gip- Ger- perich, Consul General for many, and E. W. Hamilton, Pre- sident of the Hongkong-Hockey Association.

The damp state of the ground was against fast play but on the whole the hockey displayed was worth watching. The refereeing, though, could have been botter.

The game itself was a test of beer brawn against brain and the latter came out on top. As a team, Hongkong was much more structive while the Germans were prone to run about far more than was necessary.
