THE VISITING SAIGON FOOTBALL side twice defeated over the week-ond. On Saturday, they lost to Hongkong by the odd goal in three, and by many considered unfortunato. Yesterday they were soundly boaton by South China A.A. 4-1.

On both occasions they exhibited a good knowledge of defensive play, but their forwards were very poor when in front of goal. But for this latter failing, Saigon might have shared honours with the Colony, or might even have won.
