South China Assume Leadership Army Beat Navy 12-8 In At ALMOST A GOAL Fast And Exciting Game

Navy Trounced 4-1 Causeway Bay Yesterday

(By "SCRAMBLER")

At

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

On the whole South China thoroughly deserved their Mars Week-end 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.

RUGGER, as witnessed in the Army-Navy struggle at the Club ground on Satur- day, could be classed as one of the best and most exciting exhibitions of the season. The Army emerged victori- ous by 12 points (three tries and a penalty goal) to 8 (a goal and a try) after a score- less first half.

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.

The real match began in the second period. Birrell put Army into the lead with a penalty goal, but Navy went on top when Bowden scored a great try, which was converted by Paul.
