Rough Tactics

The last half of the game was marred by rough tactics by both teams. Lee Tack-kee, who scored two of Hongkongs three goals, had to retire late in the second period with an injured nose.

The Hongkong players promised to halt here for a series of games when they pass through on their way to Java about the middle of May.

Twelve thousand fans saw the Chinese lose their only game of the series here Sunday night. Yeo dominated the play throughout the tussle and won, 1-0.
