SOUTH CHINA BEAT POLICE 3-2 HONGKONG AND LINGNAN

Chinese Narrowly Miss Scoring On Several Occasions

THOUGH it was only by the narrow margin of 3-2 that South China beat the Police in a First Division soccer match at Boundary Street yester- day, the number of occasions on which the Chinese only just failed to score belie the inference that they were hard put to secure their victory.

It was, however, an excellent game--fast and clean. There were, it is true, two penalties that resulted in goals one for each-but the infringements could safely be put down to over-enthusiasm at critical moments.

The brisk short-passing move- | *** ments were favourable to the fast moving South China XI,

NARROW ESCAPES

They went through on many occu→ sions, only to fall with shots that went skimming over the bar or ones that scraped the uprights. It was on one of these raids that they forced a corner from which came the first goal. Lau Chung-sang sent over lovely centre that fell to Lee Shek- ynu, who, after some tricky moving, sent in the ball from an angle that

UNIVERSITIES REVIVE

·ATHLETIC MEETINGS

REVIVING athletic meetings that were begun some twelve or thirteen years ago, but which have been dis continued for the past few years; the Hongkong Univer- sity and the Lingnan University, formerly of Canton, meet to-day on the athletic field at Pokfulam.

Rivalry is keen-as keen per- haps as that out of which thei Mesta originally arose and this has been made most apparent in

the enthusiastic training that Championship

has been in progress over the several weeks despite the heat.

Since the Chinese University moved to Hongkong following hostilities in Canton, their athletle' activities (running) have been cur talled, and their general standard must have suffered. Their track in Canton was one of the finest in South China, as many of the former Hong- Kong University athletes will verify, and it was a great blow and loss to the students to have had to leave it.

It is because of this that the local undergraduates are favoured to take laurels in this revival meeting.

The programme is one that extends over four days-concluding on Thurs | day, October 10 (Double Tenth)-and principal trophy of the Meeting will be that presented by the Hon. Mr. M. K. Lo for annual competition.

A Record breaking round of 65 in the morning failed to offset a poor score of 80 for the afternoon, and LA Col E. J. B. Mitchell had to concede arst place la the Shek-O Golf Championship yesterday to Col. H. B. Rose, who with rounds of 72 and 71 returned a card of 143,

It must, however, be painted oni that the present Par for the now 18 holes is 64...that of the old course being 70.

And it was only on the 17th hole of the afternoon round that Lt. Col. Mitchell conceded the two strokes that gave away the tile. He was unfortunate in striking his opponent's ball on the green and incurred the penalty of two strokes.

Leading scores were?
