SPECTACULAR SECOND HALF

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 aroa, Eastern advanced still further up the League 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 porformances in goal and was largely responsible for the low score.

Eastern made several changes in their line up. Cheng Yiu. kuen took the place of Kong S.n-seng, the.r star left back who was ill. The introduction of Lee Tak-kee, 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.

sound game. He was called upon tul do a great deal in the Arst half, but hardly ever touched the ball in the second half. Tsang Chung-wan, de- spite an injury sustained in the early stages of the game, carried on to partner Cheng, with whom he showed better understanding than Kong, lo piny his finest gume this season.

With the thought of so many people turning to Poland recently it seems only natural that tennis enthusiasts should be inquiring as to the whereabouts of that great Polish woman player, Milo.

Stewart was the Club's star man if only through his two tries. They were both brilliant efforts and never looked like potential scores.j He had to smash his way through the Army defence which had pinned him prac- tically onto the touch line, yet despite this they were taken completely by surprise by Stewart's amazing speed, and neglected to bring down the wing man by law tackles.

A GREAT HITTER

INDIANS' INEPT BATTING

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

Inclined to be weak at the best of times, the Indians are particularly inept when up against medium-paced or 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. Hi steady medium-to-fast stuif had the Indian batsmen eating out of his hand most of the time, and his success was fully deserved.
