IN A DULL GAME in which they wore out- played and outmanoeuvred, Navy lost to South China yesterday at Sookunpoo by three goals to one in their Kotowall Cup encounter. The victors were at no time seriously challenged and indulged in some clover football.

The Navy team as a whole was ragged and dis jointed. The inclusion of three new men in their line up did not in the least help matters. As it was, Williams, playing at left half, was unable to do much against the fast combination of Chan Tak-fai and Lee Tak-kee.
