UNDERGRADS DEFEATED BY VISITING XI

(By "The Pilgrim").

Only a handful of spectators were present at the Police Training School Yesterday afternoon to see the Macao Lyceum hockey team defeat the Hongkong University by four goals to nil. Those who were there had no reason to regret it, for they were treated to

to some entertaining hockey. Brilliant leadership by G. Silva was

the feature of the Macao schoolboys' attack. He scored all the four goals to pave the way for a well-earned victory for his side. He netted

twice in each half.

Outplayed in the first period, the undergraduates showed a vast im- provement after the interval and con- tinually kept the visitors on the de-. fensive, but their front line whole lacked driving power and

Taking up the attack, Macho scored

more times through G. Silva be fore the final whistle. A. Silva, at right wing, A. Borges at Inside right und J. Silva, at inside left, were pro- minent and gave G. Silva splendid support.

The recent matches played here by the Macao teams speak well for the standard of the game in the Portu- guese colony. Except for a a drawn match by the Interport team against the Civilans, the visitors have mode clean sweep. The schoolboys show great promise; I can choose at least half a dozen Interporters in the mok- ing. As a team, the boys are well above the local Second Division standard.
