Into Fiasco: Referee NAVY

NAVY "A" WIN GOOD GAME Given Much To Do

(By "Rox")

What promised to be one of the finest games of the season turned out to be a complote fiasco, when Eastern defeated the Royal Scots at the Hongkong Club ground yesterday two to one.

Due to some earlier misunderstandings, the game rapidly degenerated and foul play was freely indulged in by both sides, with the Scots being the more constant transgressors. Putting the unpleasantness to one side, the game, had some redeeming features, the goals being nice, and the team work of the Scots forwards showed that they have realised the value of combining with the halves. But for Hau Ching-to on the HHH~||~|~|~|~|~|~|~|~|~|~|~||~|-|-|-| left wing, the Eastern forwards were mediocre, only Cheung Kam-hoi showing flashes of the
