SPECTACULAR SECOND HALF RALLY BY EASTERN

Cheung Wing-choi Saves Rugby Football

South China "B" From TRIANGULAR

Heavy Defeat

(By "Rex")

Staging a spectacular second half rally, dur ing which their forwards completely swamped the South China “B” goal area, Eastern advanced still further up the Loaguo table yesterday when they won by the narrow margin of two goals to one, after a goalless first half. Cheung Wing-choi gave one of his finest performances in goal and was largely responsible for the low score.

Eastern mado several changes in their Ino up. Cheng Yiu- karen took the place of Kong .nong, ther star left back who was ill. The introduction of Len Tak-kce, a transfer from the St. Joseph's, to the centre-forward berth, failed to bolster up their attack which, on their present showing needs, I think, some drastic changes if it is to be classed among the finest in the Colony. They were anything but impressive.

Lau Hin-hon played his sound game. He was called upon to de a great deal in the first half, but hardly ever touched the bolt in the second half. Tsung Chung-wan, de- spite an injury sustained in the early

Kit Chee Lu and Lo Wai-kuen gave him ex- cellent support although Lo was in- elined to give Yeung Shlu-yick a little too much rope. The forwards showed very little understanding and appeared very uncertain in front of goul. The impression seems to be that they were each one shirking the responsibility of taking the shot, with R.A.S.C. the exception of Hau Ching-to, who was never lonth to trying.

INDIANS' INEPT BATTING

One lesson the Indian R.C. seconds learned in their game with the Kow- loon CC, at Sookunpoo last Saturday was that they will have to Improve their batting considerably if they are To make anything of a show in the Cricket League next month.

Inclined to be weak at the best of times, the Indians are particularly inept when up against mediuin-paced uir fastish bowling.

This was demonstrated on Saturday when E.C.F. Curtis bowled well for the K.C.C. to take five wickets for 14 runs. His steady medium-to-fast tut had the Indian balemen eating out of his hand most of the time, and his success was fully deserved.

A newcomer to local cricket, Curtis Prices one as being a very useful Junior bowler and, unless ist um- ressions are deceptive, is likely to ke a crop of wickets in the Junior League this soison.
