TTYHE Saints met the Recs in the only Shanghai Football Associa-L tion First Division match played yesterday and won by the easy margin of three goals to one after throwing away many scoring opportunities, Five hundred watchers at the Race Course saw a poorly played and scoreless first half in which neither keeper was tested. The Recs were on top for the i ial fifteen minutes but lost Allan through a wrenched knee after 35 minutes' play.
In the second half Tommy Alde-guar opened the scoring for the Recs, and Petterson equalized shortly afterwards. From that point on the Saints were on top, and only poor shooting prevented them from increasing their goal average. Harry Madar, was the Recs' outstanding player, with Symons a good second. Apart from these two players the remainder of the side did nothing of note, Aldeguar rarely got the ball the way he likes it, with the result that he was not able to open up the school defence.
Eichoff in goal could not be for the loss of the three goals; he brought of e number of saves the second half to score, Kabbert in the had rather less to do and performed creditably. Stangaard and Borodin were sound although the latter was inclined to mis kick. S. Foyn was the best of the halves, with Freddy Foyn, Schultz and Pet-person hard workers in front, G. Knight who officiated promptly put down any unfair tactics, He the game efficiently.
The teams lined up as under, Recs winning the toss, and defending the Bubblingwell Goal:—
