ST. JOSEPH'S BEATEN BY EASTERN IN POOR GAME WINNERS START

SHAKILY BUT Scoring Chances Thrown Away By Army Men

END STRONGLY

Play Never Rises Above

A Mediocre Standard

(By "Abe")

Starting shakily but finishing confidently, Eastern garnered another couple of points in the First Division of the Hongkong Football League yesterday when they defeated St. Joseph's by four goals to three at Causeway Bay.

Because certain members of each side were over-keen, there was too much wild kicking and too great a regard for the man in- stead of the ball, and consequently the standard of play seldom got beyond the mediocre stage. The result was a fair indication of the merits of both sides; Eastern deserved their win because they were that little bit better balanced than their opponents, and furthermore their forwards could shoot a greal deal better.

Two glaring faults marked the Saints' play: the defence was to un- steady and the attack too hurried in front of goal. In all other aspects of the game, the Saints were East- ern's equals in spite of the fact that Hsu King-hing, at centre-half for the Chinese, was the best half-back on view.

Cruz, in the Saints' goal for the first time this season, was very shaky under pressure and never appeared really safe, Souza was the Sn.nta best defender at right back. but Bowen was slow and erratic in his kicking. The Intermediates worked hard but found it extremely di cult to keep the nippy Eastern forwards under control.

POOR SHOOTING

The forwards were impressive in their approach work, but once they got near the goal-mouth they seem- heading ed all at seat instead of atraight for goal, they indulged in too much interpassing, which gave the Eastern defenders sufficient me to position themselves and often to rob them of the ball. On many occasions when a pass to the centre would have been more useful, the Innide forwards would slip the ball out to the wing, only making their Job harder. Their shooting also was

Eastern Goal-Keeper Splits A Finger

Lau Hin-hon, the Eastern goal-keeper, was prevented from turning out in the First Division soccer match against St. Joseph's yestreday by a last- minute accident,

Whilst practising just prior to the start, he stopped a hot shot from one of his own for- wards. He did not gather the ball cleanly and split open a finger. As Sammy Tsang, the former goal-keeper, was on the ground, the Eastern manager did not want to take the risk of sending Lau out on the field with his injury but played Tsang instead.

In direct contrast to their oppon- ents' methods, Eastern always made a direct line for goal. In their in- side-men, Lee Tacky, Suen Kam- shuen and Yu Yuck-shing (a junior player promoted to the first eleven owing to an injury to Chow Man

In a fairly even game of rugby at Sookunpoo on Saturday, a spirited Army side lost to the Club by eight pointa (a goal and a try) to 16 points (2 tries, a goal and a penalty goal) and might easily have snatched victory if on two occasions that their threes broke through, acoring chances had not been thrown away by the man in possession kicking to touch when confronted by the full- back.
