CHINESE DEFEAT HONGKONG F.A. IN CHARITY GAME

LOSERS STRONG

IN

DEFENCE BUT WEAK IN ATTACK

LACK OF COMBINATION GREATEST DRAWBACK

(By "Abe").

Except in the opening 20 minutes, a weakish Hongkong F.A. team proved no match for the South China A.A. at Caroline Hill yesterday in a charity soccer game, being finally beaten by three goals to nil.

Individually the Hongkong F.A. players did good work, but as a team they were woefully wenic, especially in attack and the South China goal was seldom in danger,

Binke, who had played a splendid game at centre-forward for Kowloon on Saturday, was the biggest dis- appointment of the lot. Turning out at inside-left, he took on a roaming On the other hand, the Chinese commission and was all over the vanguard, led by Lee Wal-tong, was place.

When the match commenced, the hall was swung from one side to the other with great rapidity. Although the HK.F.A. goal had a couple of narrow escapes, the Chinese were not able to assert any superiority over their opponents in the first 20 minuten at the game; in fact, the H.K.F.A. men were playing so well that it seemed as if they would make

good fight of it.

PACE NOT MAINTAINED

Unfortunately, however, they were unable to maintain the pace as well as the Chinese and, after Law Tau- man had given the South China team the lend with a fine goal, the game deteriorated.

Munro, on the right wing, was not clever enough to elude the attentions of Lau Tin-sang and Lee Tin-sang, the Chinese left-half and left-back respectively, while Fowler found his rush methods of no avail against the rock-hill defence of the Chinese although he did get quite close a couple of times with nice headers.

Rugger Prospects Very Promising For The Season

(By "Fly-Half"")

The 1938-39 Rugby season promises to bo a very successful one for the Club, if only from the point of view of the number of playing members. There are more than 45 names on the playing list, and in view of the attractive fixture card, this is very satisfying.

To-morrow the last telal match will be held at 5.15 p.m., after which the toams for Saturday's games, Club "A" v, a Navy XV and Club v. Army, will be plcked.

All Club members who wish to play rugger this year should turn out.. All players present will be sure of getting a game, and they are asked to bring with them both a white and a coloured persey.

With the glut of talent at the dia- posal of the Club, the task of picking the teams will be a difficult one. All of last year's team, with the excep- tion of R. G. Geer. J. C. Miller, C. F. Needham and J. L. Bonnar, are turn- nout unfortunate that Needham,

James Fought Ben Foord In Great Pain

But he was unable to back and was counted out. James was chaired to his dressingroom and, looking thoroughly downcast, Foord
