LEE TACK-KEE SCORES ALL WINNERS' GOALS

(By "Abe")

Weakened by the absence of several of their regular players, St. Joseph's lost to Eastern by four goals to two in their return encounter in the First Division of the Football League on the Navy ground at Causeway Bay yesterday after being two-one down at the interval.

CHINESE SUCCEED IN GOVERNOR'S CUP MATCH Injuries Weaken H. K. F. A. Side Considerably

(By "Abe")

Were it not for injuries to Hussain and Knox, the Governor'a Cup football match at Caroline Hill on Saturday between the Hongkong Football Association and the Hongkong Chinese Amateur Athletic Federation would have been a much more in- teresting affair than it actually was. True, the score was only 2-1 in favour of the Chinese, but it was not a fair reflection of the run of play; for in the second half the Chinese were all over the Association and their inability to score was due not so much to the good play of the Association as a team as to the magui- ficent display of goal-keeping by Rowlands between the sticks.

As only to be expected, there was 10 ace the tremendous crowd game. Among those present were Sr His Excelicney the Governor, Geofry Northcote, and the Hon. Mir. N. L. Sinth, Fresident of the As- sociation.

The match,commenced interesting- ly enough, with the ball swinging from one side of the Hold to the other. Certainly at the early stages the ther was no indication that encounter would become us. nnc- sided as it eventually turned out to bc.
