(By "The Pilgrim").
Only a handful of spectators were present at the Police Training School yesterday afternoon to see the Mocao Lyceum hockey team defeat the Hongkong University by four gals to all. Those who were there had no reason to regret it, for they were treated 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 alde. He noted victory for his 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 frent line $15 a whole lacked driving power and
snap.
Taking up the attack, Macao scored two more times through G, Silva be- fore the Anal whistle, A. Silva, at right wing. A. Borges at inside right and J. Saat Inside left, were pro- nilment 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 drawn match by the Interport team against the Civlians, the visitors have made a clean sweep. The schoolboys show great promise; can choose at least half n up wins.
