Another world's swimming record mark was lowered to- day. Hagabild Hveger es- tablished a new time for the 200 metres backstroke in covering the distance in 2 minutes 41.3 seconds, as com- pared with the existing ro- cord of 2 minutes 44.6 seconda set up by Nida Senf of Hol- Land Reuter.

Scotland's Team For Charity Cup Match

Five members of the Senforth Highlanders first eleven are included in Scotland's team to oppose Eng- land the International Charity Cup next Sunday.

The team is as follows.

Rodger (Club); II (Club) and Steele (Seaforths); Williamson (Sea- forths), McCucker (Seaforths) and (Sea- Cook (Seaforths); Ayres forths), owlett (R.R.), MWler (Sea- forths), Wilson (Club) and D. Knox (Kowloon).

TO REPRESENT HONGKONG FA The following players have been selected to represent the Hongkong Football Association in the match

DULLEST GAME OF

It needed something more ex- citing than this match at Carolino Hill yesterday to compensate the several thousands of spectators who sat around the ground shivering in an icy blast which swept the field for 90 minutes. İ It was one of the coldest days of the year and one of the dullest games seen this season.

South China were clearly masters

of the situation from the initial play, and so completely dictated the terms, that only the scoring of six goals kept interest alive for the onlookers. Neither team as a unit played very well, though there were flashes of inspired individualism which fired

enthusiasm. Lee one's

talking point for the spectators, and was easily one of the most spectacular goals scored here this scuson.

It was especially clever because Lee seized upon an opening which few players would have appreciated, and by his opportunism left Chang the Shanghai goalkeeper entirely unsighted.

It gives me real pleasure to state that Wong Mee-shun was the best player on view. Usually one finds it necessary lo qualify landatory com- ments on Wong Mee-shun, but in this game he played well nigh per- tackled feet football. Though bo hard he was scrupulously fair, and elements of the more consiructive half back play have not been better demonstrated in longkong for
