Brilliant Defenders Subdue Chinese Federation Forwards

(By "SCRAMBLER")

THE FOOTBALL ASSOCIATION'S XI won the second leg of the Governor's Cup when they defeated a weakened CHINESE FEDERATION team by four goals to two yesterday at Causeway Bay ground, before a dis- tinguished gathering including H.E. The Governor, Sir Geoffry Northcote.
