LEAGUE FOOTBALL,

Police Had Themselves To Blame

FOR NOT TAKING

BOTH POINTS

Police had themselves to blame for not taking both league points from the Navy in yesterday's first division football match at Kowloon.

They enjoyed seven-eighths of the play and for periods over-run the Navy, who played far below form. But Police forwards shot very badly. Due credit must also be given to Ritchie for his brave display in the Navy goal.

Police should have been three goals up at half time, and then later in the game, they appeared to take things too easy and very nearly allowed Wormald to break through and

score.

The game was as cheerless as the

result was goalless,
