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

They enjoyed seven-eighths of the

over-ran the play and for periods 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 al

In the fifth round, too. Petersen must have landed six rights to the Jaw in rapid time-but still Neusel came on relentlessly, pursuing his body target. At all other times, Neusel never looked like losing. He was a Alter man than when he beat Ben Foord, and faster, but this was not the Petersen he fought two years ngo.

Petersen has lost his punch-and without it he can never be the vital ring force of old.
