When, at the end of the sea- son South China "A" come to make out their balance sheet of victories and defeats, Lee Wai-teng will figure as the most important asset.. His value to the team is two-fold morale and goal.

In this league match against the Recreio al Caroline Hill he not only scored, two goals which would have been beyand the powers of the avera ge centre-forwarf in Hongkong, but by his very presence completely changed the texture of South China's with their recent play. Compared inept performances, the team looked like pukkn champions.

Soath Chine only won by the odd I have said this was goal, and as directly due to the genius of Lee! but I think it is difficult to call at the result. The Chinese were worth the points, and the margin would have been much more emphatic if Ip Pak-wn, hadn't missed twice in nue cession from four yards out with a yawning goal before him.

RENEWED ENTERPRISE There was renewed enterprise in the work of the Chinese, and they came nearer to touching that early season form than at any other time since Christmas, Lee Wai-tong was a marked man from beginning to end so that spectators saw only about twe of his famous. individual bursts through the centre. But he readily resigned himself to the situation and concentrated on

on providing scope for bet- the rest of the attack. Nothing ter was seen in the game than his fine swinging passes to the left wing. Lee apparently had more faith in Wong King chung than in Tru Kwai- shing and it must be admitted that the deft winger responded very well. Whether it was due to his lengthy periods of inactivity, or whether to downright 083 of

Kwil form, Tao shing did not come up to the standard set by his colleagues and only about three times during the match got in centres which presented any problem to the Recreio defence. It was there- fore quite natural to see the majority of the Chinese attacks emanate from either the centre of the field or the left wing.

Rumfahn, next in the list, is not likely to meet with great opposition during the first three rounds, and it will require a very big upset to prevent him from reaching: the quarter-finals.

Next in the same half comes Lai Kwong-taun as the chief zininant for Inclusion, but his trip is not going to be so simple. Firstly he has to beat Hachiums, after which he will come against either M.
