Continued success is being encountered by the Police football eleven 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 flaky got in the second so completely demoralised the miktary combination that the ale fence utterly collapsed and allowed the Police to pile on three more goals in quiet succession, while throughout the latter stages the winners became a constant menace to Swain and Gor- man who had hitherto successfully

However, the Police forwards nega tived many of their own movements by faulty passing and hesitancy when in front of goal. Both wingers, T. Pile and Moss, were slow in contring and were being constantly robbed by the halves.
