South China "A" gained a calculated, conclu- sive decision' over Chinese Athletic yesterday to advance to the second round of the Senior Shield. There was nothing very flashy about it. It was accomplished in a manner coldly methodi- cal and deliberate.. Coals came at regular inter- vals; they were inevitable. Athletic were not outplayed, but whereas they had to be all out for 90 minutes, South China could always afford to leave something in hand. The match was a not- able example of the difference between a good team and a very good team. The answer in this case was four goals.
