SCOTS' ATTACK UNABLE TO SETTLE DOWN

FUNG KING-CHEUNG AND CHAN TAK-FAI SHINE

(By "Abo")

After holding China in the first half of the game, Scotland cracked up in the second, following an early goal, and were finally defeated by three goals to nil in the Sunday Herald International charity match at Caroline Hill yesterday afternoon. China thus earned the right to meat England in the final.

Although the Chinese forward line always moved a little better than the Scots both defences played up to form and exchanges were fairly the even in the arst period; second half, however, there was no doubt that the Chinese were the better team. On several occasions they were attacking the Scottish goal continuously, and only luck and a few timely interceptions by more than three Ilmes.

Whereas the Chinese forwards were on the move altogether, the Scots had the disadvantage of pluy
