ST. JOSEPH'S SURPRISE NAVY IN SOCCER SHIELD

WIN BY

BY THE ODD GOAL AFTER AN EXCITING GAME

SAILORS MORE SPEEDY BUT HAD NO CONTROL

(By "Abe")

That old football axiom that League form is often an unreliable guide to the result of Shield matches was once again borne out yesterday whon' St. Joseph's defeated the formidable Royal Navy team in the second round of the Hongkong. Foot- ball Association Shield at Causeway Bay by 3-2. True, the Saints were strengthened by the inclu- sion of C. F. Remedios, N. Beltrao and A. V. Gosano; but few of those present on the ground, I am sure, expected victory to go to them, especial- ly as the Navy took a 2-0 lead after 15 minutes'

Overseas Postal Match Fired

At Stonecutters In A Strong Tail Wind

The N.R.A. Overseas Postal Match was fired on Saturday at Stonecutters Rifle Range, kindly placed at the disposal of the teams by the Naval authorities. A strong but constant tail wind was blowing all the time while the light up till 600 yards was good.

It was a cold morning and some members of the team who were clad in shirts were somewhat chilled. However, taking in all the conditions, the shooting was good and there was a distinct increase on last year's score.
