Brilliant All-round Combination Scottish Company Win Winning Quadrangular

(By "SCRAMBLER”)

The form shown by the Chinoso “A” at Causeway Bay augurs well for them in their forthcoming encounter against Scotland in the Interna- tional Cup, for on yesterday's display, this team will take some beating. Showing an all round superiority they wore victorious to the tune of five goals to one.

With the exception of Cheung Wing-choy, the Chinese played as advertised, whereas the Rest were un- able to fill an eleven, spectators were called in at the last moment to fill the gaps, Hossack, Callow, Gow and Ed- munds filling the vacant places.

Rutherford was a perfect link between the forwards and backs. His excollent long passes placed his side in advantageous positions time and again. In addition he was not alow to break away on his own, as well as give Thomson, his opposite, a harrying time.

The Navy pack played an inspired game in the loose. They followed up to a man all stray balls, and had the Club forwards at sixes and sevens. Watson, although not having the best of it against Burford at hooking, gave his men a line lead in the loose.
