South China Assume Leadership Army Beat Navy 12-8 In

Royal Navy Trounced 4-1 At ALMOST A GOAL

Causeway Bay Yesterday

(By "SCRAMBLER")

THEIR HESITANCY TO go for the ball and their weak and in- accurate passes throughout the game were the contributory factors that led to the Navy's 4-1 defeat by South China, when they mot yesterday at Causeway Bay, in the Senior Division yesterday. Against a solid defenco, Navy persisted in short tapping passes, which more often than not, were frustrated before they had time to become effective.

Deserved Victory

On the whole South China thoroughly deserved their .win, for they played the better brand of football, often inveigling Navy's defence into a false position to bring off a coup. The two insidemen lent admirable aid both in defence and attack, for they adopted the "W" forma- tion throughout, and because of the fact that Lee Wai- tong was given the most attention, both Chan Tak-fai and Chow Man-chi were given plenty of work to do in which to excel.

Navy's forwards were in the limelight, especially in the loose, while among Army players, Fairclough, the full back, was prominent with excellent and long kicks.
