ground on Saturday could be traced more to the inability of the Colony to seize opportuni-' tics than to any pronounced superiority on the part of Shanghai.

The teams were, in fact, extremely well matched, but Hongkong were deficient in speed particularly when it came to three-quarter break-aways. The line-outs generally found long- kong in possession while a hard work- ing pack held its own in the tight Scrums and in forward rushes.

But the "Threes" almost without exception handled badly and all fell into the mistake of zidding themselves of the ball before making enough ground and drawing their opponents, Meeke alone showed that dash and lulitlative necessary to outwit a power- ful and waterful defence and it was very hard luck that after selling perfect "dummy" to cut through the inide like a knife he should havo been brought down within a yard or two of the line with none of his colleagues supporting him."
