Two Goals In The End

(By "Abo")

The combined Haiphong-Hanoi soccer team completed their series of three official matches in the Colony by playing another drawn game, this time against the Rost of the Colony, on the Club ground yesterday. The final score was 3-3 after the visitors had led by 1-0 in the first half and 3-1 at one stage of the second,

It was obvious from the commence- ment of the encounter that their week of practice in Hongkong condi- tions had improved the visitors' play tremendously. Always a yard faster on the ball than the focal men, they proved extremely clever in their dribbling and shori pussing, and once) more demonstrated" that when the opportunity offers they can shout. All their three gods were Kems, especially the first and second.

YUGO-SLAV SURPRISES JOHN BROMWICH IN DAVIS CUP MATCH

That cannonading one heard Aug. 24 around the Long. wood Cricket Club was not a European crisis shifting to our own backyard, but merely Ferenc Puncec, Yugoslavia's one-man tennis army, dropping a few bombs into the in- creasingly tense international Davis Cup situation, which is rapidly nearing the breaking point. The opening day's premier conflicts between the European winners and the Australians stunned the sparse crowd as Puncec turned in a four-set victory over John E. Bromwich, the man con- sidered to take Donald Budge's former amateur pedestal, the scores being, 6—Z, 8—6, 0—6, 6-2..
