Chinese Federation

Defeat Association

Eleven By 5-3

IN A GAME fraught with thrills, and in which honours were shared avenly by both toams, the Chinese Amateur Federation beat the Hong- kong Football Association by five goals to three in the Governor's Cup match at Causeway Bay yesterday.

In the first half, the Federation completely dominated play, but Association turned the tables, and the Federation defence were extended to their utmost to stave off defcat.

For the Federation, Lee Wal- tong and Company played their best game to date. But for the vigilance of Williamson and Bright they would have mount-

Negotiations are now in progress for Jack Dempsey, former heavyweight cham- pion of the world, to referee a boxing match in Hong- kong sometime next month. These negotiations are being carried out by Mr. Vic Hugo, the well-known of the Oriental manager Theatre, with Dempsey's manager, and have reached the stage where if the finan cial arrangements made are acceptable Dempsey will be in Hongkong around Decem- ber 18, which is immediately following the bout on December 16 between Cafe- rino Garcia and Glenn Lee in Manila.
