Two Division' Leaderships Change Hands

LEAGUE FOOTBALL

YESTERDAY

Two divisional leaderships changed hands yesterday in the Hongkong Football League as a result of matches played in the second and third divisions. Navy, by means of a handsome success against Royal En- gineers, assume premiership of the second division, while East Lanes, thanks to a comfortable win against the RAM.C. are now top of the third division.

WIN AFTER BEING IN ARREARS East Lancs. Make Good Recovery

East Lancashires made a good ro covery in their third division match against R.A.M.C. yesterday and after being a goal in arrears, succeeded in winning by three goals to one.

It was a well contested game though rather shorn of the finer points large ly owing to the slippery ground sur face which upset several of the play ors and was responsible for erratic passing. East

JOCKEY SHORT and SHIRT

INTRODUCED but a few months ago by Coopers these remarkable garments have already found a permanent place in the wardrobe of thousands.

JOCKEY SHORTS have style; they are easy to wear; they provide comfort plus a physical value never before found in undergarments.

TO THE new wearer of Jockey Shorts an unusual feeling of buoyancy is quite noticeable. This is nature's way of approving the scientific designing of Jockey Shorts. It suggests, also, that a continued wearing of Jockey will conserve energy.

BUTTONLESS and without needless openings to gap and sag, Jockey moves with every muscle; no bind, no bulking fore or aft. The fabric allows the skin to breathe. Body moisture dries more quickly. Jockey casts no embar- rassing shadow through Palm Beach or flannel trousers.
