The Chinese were definitely the better team In the opening half and were not flattered by their lead of 31. The Welsh defence in this perlod was given a very harassing time by the Chinese right tank. which combined very well with Chau Tal-fat in the middle. The left-wing combination of Lai Shiu- wing-Lau Chung-sang was weak, however; if Lal and Lau had given the other three .orwards, Tang Kwong-sum, Fung Ying-cheung and Chon Tak-fal, adequate support, Kowinds, good as he was, would probably have been forced to con- cedo more than three goals in the first 35 minutes. As it was, most of the danger came from the right, and by concentrating their attention on
