Eastern Extended Fully To Beat Royal Navy

Chinese Steadier Side But Nearly Upset By Robust Methods

Of The Sailors

(By "SCRAMBLER"}

EASTERN HAD SOME difficulty in overcoming the Navy yesterday at Causeway Bay in their Senior Football League match, winning by two goals to nil, scoring ono goal in each half. A strong wind prevented good football and not only mado ball control difficult but was also responsible for the deceptive flight of the ball. !

League Table

Eastern were very nearly upset by the robust | ***** methods adopted by the Navy in their tackling at one period of the game, but their steadiness held out, and not to be caught napping, they kept on with the same brand of smooth passing game which eventually got them the goals.

Although the score of two goals may suggest that Eastern had matters their way, this was not нo, for during the first period of the game, despite being up against a strong wind, Navy put up a very spirited defence; and it was not till the closing minute! of the first half that the Chinese) wore able to penetrate the do-i fence.

Eastern had much to thank Ng Kee-cheang of back and Lo Wal- kuen and Hsu King-sing in the in- tremediate line for their victory, for between the three of them, they held

the the sailors' attack at bay for greater part of the game. Nelther team had their regular line up, and the Chinese aubstitutes, with the ex- ception of S. Y. Yen at back, did not cerne up to expectation.

Eastern were bent served by the above three mentioned players. Ng Kee-cheong by his clever covering of Qui Yeung-fok, nitnost reduced the danger from Hendy and Barber to nil. He was for ever in the nick of

time with his timely clearances and interceptions, and many a time it was he who relieved a threatening situn- on. His partier, S. Y. Yen, was good only in patchca.
