(By "Abo")

South China "A" lost two valuable points in their race for the First Division championship of the Football League with the Navy when they wore defeated by two goals to one by Eastern on the Club ground yesterday. On the day's performance, they fully deserved to lose: their opponents were the nippior side and took full advantage of their opportunities in the first half.

The absence of Li Tin-sang from Its accustomed position at left back made a considerable difference in the South China defence, which was very shaky right through. Leung Wing-chiu, who took over Li's berth, obviously was not huppy in his new position, and after Eastern had taken a lead of 2-0, he changed over with Lee Kwok-wal, who nude better job of H.

Actually Enstern's forwards were when on the far more dangerous move. Chan Bint-to (outside right), (centre-forward) and Lee Tik-kee Hau Chang-to (outside left) were the key men. Their thrusts were swift. South Chinn's defenders found this out in the first few minutes when a centre Nevertheless, Li's stendying in-

On the other hand, Eastern's backs and half-backs, by Brst-time Tackling, were able to keep out the South Chinn forwards, who were never allowed to settle down to play their usual smooth game.

CLUB RUGBY SIDE

MUCH TOO GOOD FOR REST FIFTEEN Happy Augury For Next Saturday's Interport

(By Fly-Half">

On Saturday afternoon on the Club ground, the team picked to represent the Club to play in the Interport against Malaya which takes place next Saturday, met a team drawn from the Rest of the Colony. It was obvious from the kick-off that Club would have a comfortable victory in view of the fact that not one of the regu- lar Navy players was included in the Rest team; and so it proved.

However, the game was far from Berry and
