South China Defeat Army: Brilliant Play By Lai Shiu-Wing

(By "Rox")

Playing below form in the first half, when they were practically outclassed, South China Athletic Asociation staged a brilliant second poriod rally to beat Army by four goals to one in the final of the Kotewall Cup at Causeway Bay yesterday.

To Lai Shiu-wing goes the credit for South China victory. He played his best game this sea- son. Coupled with this was the poor show of

Duncan at goal for Army was very shaky throughout the match, his attempts at saving being only half-hearted. Naysmith and Sheehan showed no understanding whatso- ever and cleared in a very haphazard fashion. The former had no control over the South China left winger, while the latter managed to cover Yeung at times only.

British Army Beat French At Rugby

Paris, Feb. 26 (Reuter).— In the first Franco-British rug- by encounter since 1931, the British Army beat the French Army by 36 points to 3.

The British team comprised entirely of English, Scottish, Irish or Welsh Internationals. They played brilliantly, were much heavier at forwards and got the ball constantly, which the three-quarters made good; use of, whereas the French, perhaps awed by the reputa- tion of their opponents, were hesitant and always on the defensive after the first 15 minutes.

Changes in the teams playing in the Inter- national Tournament on Saturday robbed the matches of a great deal of their interest in a competitive light as the teams lost their national character. Both games were interesting to watch...

The England v. Scotland game was a ding-dong struggle between equally matched teams. It was hard luck on the English players to have lost the game by a kick and especially by one taken by Bidwell who should have appeared with instead of against them.
