Losing their backbono, A. V. Gosano, after fifteen minutes play, Portugal carried on their match in the semi-final round of the "Sunday Herald" Charity Cup yesterday at Kowloon Foot- ball Club ground with ton mon against England, after putting up a spirited resistance only to be beaten by a better team by the odd goal in five. 74, 30, 1015

As long as "A. V." was with them, they more than held their own, and when this versatile “evergreen" player was injured in a collision with an English player, the Portu- guese had to fight hard to avert a big defeat. It was to the credit of their defence that the score stood at that. figure, for time after time the abortive English raida wero repulsed..
