(By "Abe")

For approximately 25 minutes-15 at the beginning of the first half and 10 at the end of the second-the Police played fine football against South China "A" in the First Division of the Hongkong Football League yesterday afternoon; but for the rest of the match they were fairly outplayed and were defeated by four goals to two

What led to their downfall was a disallowed goal in the first 15 min- utes when they were pressing cop tinuously. Howlett. took the hall nldfield, dribbled past two defenders and crashed the bull into the net Just as he was tackled.

All the snap which the Police had shown during this period disappeared entirely after this, and from the time the goal was disallowed until the Police rally in the closing stages of the game, there was only one team In South China "A".

KOWLOON RETAINS LEAD IN

THE FIRST DIVISION

(By "Abo")

Kowloon and Middiessex, the two leaders of the First Division in the Football League, played a goalless draw on Satur- day, and as a result there is no chango in the positions of the two teams. Kowloon, by virtue of a better goal average, still ' leads Middlesex in the League Table. Both the South China teams won their engagements over the week-end, the "B" re- taining its 100 per cent. record by beating St. Joseph's and the "A" having the better of the Police yesterday. Club and Kowloon Chinese again lost their matches.
