COLONY

In their farewell football match in the Colony-appropriately enough, against South China A.A.—the Royal Welch Fusiliers, who' will be leaving by the Dunera to-morrow, reached their best form at Caroline Hill yesterday afternoon and played a draw of 3-3 with their hosts despite being 3-1 down at half-time.

The Chinese paid the

It was bitterly cold at Carojine Hill yesterday afternoon; neverthe- less I am certain that every one of the

spectators thoroughly enjoyed

the match, which was one of the cleanest played in the Colony dur- Ing the current season. There were new hard knocks, but these were given and taken in good part.

The Chinese were definitely the better team in the opening half and were not flattered by their leud of Welsh defence in this '3-1. The

period was given a very harassing time by the Chinese right Bank,

As it was, most of the danger came from the right, and

SPEEDY PLAY

The outstanding feature of the game was the speed in which both sets of forwards made their attacks. ball was swung about with The great rapidity, but the Chinese were Inclined to över-do their passing. On several occasions the bull was sent out to the wings when a more direct line for roal would probably have been attended by better results.
