THE CHINA MAIL.
CHINESE WOMEN AND AUSTRALIAN TOUR. [FOOTBALL PUZZLES.
ATHLETICS.
FALLING INTO LINE WITH THE WEST.
POSITION IN MALAYA.
The question of whether Chinese women should take part in athletic games was debated at the Chinese Christian Association Hall. Singa- pore by members of the Straits Chinese Reading Club. By a large majority vote was returned in the affirmative.
Speaking for the affirmative, Mr. women Lan Pau-song said that needed recreation as much as men needed their friendship. As to whether women were constitution- ally suited for athletics, the speak er pointed to the fact that they were able to fly aeroplanes and that women had swum the English Channel, In many branches of sport it had been demonstrated that woman was man's equal,
Europeans realised that the en-
of couragement
sport among women not only furnished them with a means of obtaining healthy exercise, but also led to a better understanding between the sexes. The Japanese emulated the Euro- peans in that as in many other' things, and Chinese realising these berpfits suggested that their women should discard small shoos and play games. As a result sport was gradually coming into its own. among the women of China.
What of the Chinese women in Malay In the speaker's opinion, given the opportunity, they would make a fine athletes as the women of European nations. But if the Chinese Swimming Club nut mixed switaning on its programme there would arise a perfect lurvicane of. criticism from, the Chinese, who had not yet realised the value of open and free companionship be tween the sexes, The Chinese was selfish, he wanted his women to stay at home.
A Woman's True Place, For the negative, Mr. Leong Choong-poon asked if the. Chinese in Malaya. desired their women to cease housekeeping and become woman's athletic champions. A
duty was the care of her home, and in the discharge of that duty she would get all the exercise she need- ed.
A Chinese husband, the speaker felt sure, would desire to have his wife at home, to receive him and attend to his wants, when he re turned tired from his day's fabour. It would not be a pleasant thing
for him to feel himself neglected in favour of some game which his wife was busy playing away from home.
Several took part in the discus- Reasons urged by speakers zion. for the affirmative were the re- freshing effect on the mind of sport at the end of a day's work. The Chinese man felt the need of it, and obtained it for himself. The Chinese woman, though she did not go to an office, had her day's work: why should she not share with her husband or brother the recreative benefit of sport?
Women of Eurpean races did not feel that they were doing anything Immodest in wearing clothes de- signed for sport: why should Chinese women be bothered by any auch antiquated ideas?
Games In Girls' Schools. One speaker asked if the Chinese would see their women gathered round a cheekes table, in a hot and stuffy room, filling in their leisure hours in a way which, while it took away their money, brought in no benefit to their health? Would not the Chinese rather have their time women put in their spare healthily and usefully, in sport?
A reason urged for the negative was that violent games tended to coarsen a woman.
This was denied by other speak-
ers.
At the conclusion of the debate,

from
Mr. J. T. Hawcroft, one-time
"Soccer" famous
referee, in an A wall-known Home article in sports paper, duals. with the voxed question of penalty kicks. It may be recalled that some time ago this Leicester on winning the toss, opened with Shipman and Berry,uestion came before the local foot- ball body, and considerable discus- who played confidently to pass the century mark in their opening sion arose over the matter.
Mr. Howcroft says: At this period of

(Stourbridge) and the other "Interested," of Shrewsbury, curiously enough bearing on the same subject. Both correspond. enis draw my attention to Incid- enia which took place in a game in that area, and the two appear quite concerned with a case of a penalty kick, in which they contend the re- feree blundered. Each writer en- closes a cutting from a local news- paper, in which the contributor of the article argues that the official was correct in his interpretation of the rules.

It appears that the goalkeeper of the defending side moved a few steps when the first kick was being taken as the ball was passing into the net. The referee decided that the kick must, therefore, be re- taken, and again the ball was shot hard into the net.
It is my view that the referee made a serious error of judgment in
