HOCKEY IN MACAO

University Boat Lyceum, But Lose To Macao H.C.

MACAO, Dec. 20-With the visit to Macao of the Hongkong University eleven yesterday and to-day, hockey has been "all the go" in sports circles here, and large crowds turned out to wit. ncis the matches played against the local strength.

In the first match played yes. terday, the University mot the Macao Lyceum team, and suc- eceded in defeating the local side by 3.1.

The visitors set out in a brisk attack and drew blood only a minute from bully-off, when K. S. Oll dribbled through und took a fast ghoi at goal.

versity clacing away at the Uni- The Lyceum brought the game up to a lively pace. Led by G. Silva, centre-forward, the locat forwards pressed for an opening, and were rewarded after ten minutes when a brilliant shot by G. Silva found the net.

Scores thus evened, the University half-backs were seen to advantage. In stick-work and placing, Abrahim was extremely creditable, and a fine understanding featured Lingam, Oh.. (and Hans Raj, forwards.

Following the interval, the visitors. augmented their score when Tan took the ball through on his own and aimed between the posts beyond Eusebio, custodian. Tan was respon- sible for the last goal when he took a neat pass from Öh.

HALF-BACKS IMPRESS

IN.

The Lyceum team impressed as a side with definite possibilities, and was particularly formidable in the half-back line, with Trigo Silva, pivot. The forwards were hardwork- ing but unlucky before their oppon- enis' goal, both G. Silva and "Rod- rigues narrowly missing the net.. The defect of the Lyceum forwards seemed to lie in passing rather than trying at goal when well, within: shooting range.

Following the match, a presenta- tion of Π handsome pennant in honour of the occasion was made to the University team by Mr. F. Lara Reis, President of the Lyceum Scho- flors Association,

The excellent harmony of the focal forwards was chiefly responsible for Macno's success over the visitors. Whenever the flanks passed to cen- tre, the Inside trio worked with an impulse which was at once challeng Ing and speedy, and Gupta was extremely alert at goal, intercepting: some difficult shots.

Alrosa secured the second goal for Macao off a pass from Angelo, while- the final goal was registered by Albert Airesa after the interval. Trigo Silva and Rosario gave a good secount of themselves in the local defence.

Antarctic Season Yields Unusual Find

Washington, Dec. 20. American whalers have returned from the Antarctic with stories of finding three scta.of while twins during last season's catch.

Four of the twins, yet unborn, were in two finback whales. The mother of the other sel was a big blue whale. It is rare for the sea-going stork to bring twin whales.

The three sets of twin wore the only ones found in the season's catch of 2,204 whales; from which was processed 7,150,700 gallons of all, 216 tons of bone and 396 tons of meat. Kertilizer, all valued of $3,250,000- United Press,
