MONDAY

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 thoir weak and in- accurato 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 defence, Navy persisted in short tapping passes, which more often than not, were frustrated before they had time to become effective,

Deserved Victory

Bad Weather

Softball Tilts

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.

Excellent Times At La Salle College Sports

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.

Then from a penalty 40 yards out, rebounded to Carter. The latter threw himself across the Army line The but was hurled back again, ball went into the loose, and Paul sent Wilson across for an uncon- veried try to increase Navy's lead.
