(By "Sagax")

The unavoidable absenco from the team of several of the Canton Chinese footballers, greatly detracted from the in- terest of the soccer match be- tween them and the Army, at Sookunpoo yesterday afternoon, and, as a consequence, the stand- ard was not as high as would otherwise have been.

However, some delightful football was served up by the two elevens al- though there were occasions when the -scame was not as good as it might have been. A draw of one goal cach Wai a fair reflection of the play,, although the military side was award- ed a penalty from a rather doubtful decision. The referee appeared to henitate before blowing the whistle for the apot kick.

STRAIGHT VICTORY IN OPENING MATCH

LEONARDO GAVIA SHOULD SEEK INTERNATIONAL EXPERIENCE

TWO OUTSTANDING FAULTS IN PLAY OF FILIPINO PROFESSIONAL

Manila, Sept. 30.

After defeating Leonardo Gavia, Jr. in three straight sets, 6-3, 6-3, 6-2, in the opening match of the special tennis series at the Rizal Memorial Tennis Stadium yesterday afternoon, Henri Cochet, famous French net ace, declared that the Filipino ace plays a good, heady game and should be sent to Europe to put polish on his technique. The Frenchman, who five years ago was rated as the world's outstanding tennis star, found, two major faults in Gavia's style of play but in general praised the local star.

"Gavin is a good player, Cochet stated after the match. He has a scond service and a nice buck-hand but his forearm strokes are no good at all. He has too much wrist move- thent for nothing.
