CHINESE ENGINEERS SUCCESSFUL

In a fast soccer game at Happy Valley yesterday, Chinese Engineers look points from R.A.S.C. with a 5-2 win. The Suppers catablished a lead of four clear goals in the initial half, but on the run of the play R.A.S.C. were unlucky.

MATCH

The most dangerous members of the Engineers attack were Chang Ying-kin, in the centre, and Li Wai- Jarn, on the extreme right, and credit must be given to Li Muk-Jam and Tang Ching-pan for the openings they made. Chung Wol was a use- ful pivot and Lo Kam-bor and Tsang Wal did much to give Lam Wah-hali for Macao on Sunday. shing a comfortable afternoon be- tween the sticks.

The R.AS.C. custodian, Scougal, had an unfortunate, initial half, bui brought off some pretty saves when not facing the run. Benford had a dimcult job in keeping Li Wai-lam Ja check.
