POLICE BEAT SAINTS SUPERIOR THREE-QUARTER LINE

IN SEMI-FINAL OF THE SHIELD Winning Goal Scored In Closing Minute

(By "Abo")

With the score dead-locked at 3-3 when the final whis- tle blew, extra time had to be played yesterday in the semi- final Shield match between Police and St. Joseph's at Causeway Bay. Then just when it looked as if a replay would be necessary, Moss received the ball inside the penalty area and promptly scored with a low ground shot, thus putting the Police in the final.

This happened less than one minute from the end; but even then, the Saints and an opportunity of getting on level terms. The ball was swung out to the left, where young Alves onde a good run before send- ing the ball into the centre. David Leonard was on it, but there were Liree Police defenders on him at the same time and he was just prevented from scoring.

COLONY WIN Malayan Rugger Tourists Defeated In Last Match

(By "Fly-Hair")

The Malayan rugger players wound up a very successful tour on Saturday when they were beaten by an All-Hongkong-side by 18 point (five tries and a penalty goal) to 11 points (a goal, a try and a penalty goal). Their record of one draw (against the Club), one win (against the Navy) and one defeat is very satisfactory.
