EASTERN DEFEAT ST. JOSEPH'S

THREE GOALS ADDED

IN SECOND HALF

A. V. Gosano Prominent In The Defence

(By "Rex")

LEADING ONE COAL TO NIL in the first a further threa half, Eastern went on to score goals in the second to defeat a strengthened St. Joseph's eloven by four goals to ong in a fast on- 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.
