HONGKONG FOOTBALLERS ON TOUR
The Eastern Athletic Association's football team has just concluded a highly successful tour of Austrana. Fourteen games were played, including five Test matches, of which the Hongkong team won ten and lost four. So well did the Chinese players acquit themselves that several of their number were invited to remain in Australia and play for certain clubs in the Dominion, Latest reports state, however, that the entire team is returning to Hongkong. The fine action pictures ap- pearing on this page have just been received.Top left picture depicts an exciting moment in front of the Australian goal during the third Test.
