COMBINED CHINESE DEFEAT INTERPORT XV WIN

CIVILIANS 4-2

(By "Rox")

OUTSTANDING FEATURES of a very interesting game wore the totally unexpected fight put up by the Civilian team, the complete domination by A. V. Gosano over Chan Tak-fai and Lee Wai-tong, and two surprise goals by Hau Ching-to which gained for the Chinese their four goals to two victory over the Civilians in the second round of the Lai Wah Cup at Causeway Bay yesterday.

Taylor, the Police custodian, was to the fore

with a splendid performance, his great height

and longth of reach disconcerting the Chinese attackors no end.

This match had an added interest in that Forrow gave a brilliant exhibition at inside left and should provide a solution as to the final composition of the Interport side to meet Shanghai.

Both teams missed what appeared to be certain scoring opportunities, through selfishness or over-cagerness, but as the chances missed were equally divided they had little bearing on the score.
