Continued success is being encountered by the Police football cleven and in their match against the East Lanca- shire Regiment on the Kowloon Football Club Ground on Saturday, they won a couple of deserving points by the convincing margin of five goals to nil, although, except for a'short period during the closing stages, the winners were certainly not playing with such pronounced superiority as to be the better team by nearly half a dozen goals.

A penalty during the first half, followed by a somewhat fluky goal in the second so completely demoralised the military combination that the de fence utterly collapsed and allowed the Police to pile on three more yonis in quick succession, while throughout the latter stages the winners became a constant nenaco to Swain and Gior- hitherto Huccessfully mn who had
