EASTERN DEFEAT ST. JOSEPH'S 4-1 Women's Tennis Title

THREE GOALS ADDED

IN SECOND HALF

A. V. Gosano Prominent In The Defence

(By "Rex")

LEADING ONE GOAL, TO NIL in the first a further three half, Eastern went on to score. goals in the second to defeat a strengthened St. Joseph's eloven by four goals to one in a fast en- counter at the Club ground yesterday.

Crowds packed the stands in anticipation of witness- ing the come-back of Tsui Ah-fai, China Olympic pivot, who, however, failed to put in an appearance, but they were somewhat mollified when the Gosano brothers, A. V. and "Bertie," took the field for the first time in a long while for a League match.

HOW

Middlesex

Eastern repeated the tactics | ******4 they adopted against South | China "A", going all out in the early stages of the game, but; the Saints failed to press home in the end. From very early in the game A. V. and Hsu were debating who was the better, and not till the final whistle was a decision made possible, and the edge was given to A. V.

Marques in goal for the Saints was very uncertain throughout the nuntch, and had at least two goals to his cilscredit. He seemed to have lost that excellent anticipation and judgment which served him in such good slend of yore.

C. Marques and Woo were a tower of strength until the final stages or the second half, when they cracked up badly under the Intense attacks of Eastern, and made some blunders, two of which proved fatal.
