400 METRES FINAL
HONGKONG TEAM MUCH TOO GOOD FOR MANILA -7-0 VICTORY
By I. M.
MacTAVISH
Whatever dissatisfaction the Manila officials may have felt when they heard that Hongkong had selected a team that contained several up- and-coming youngsters to oppose them in the annual Interport game, there can surely be no doubt in their minds now as to the wisdom of the selec- tion.
This Colony representative side was vastly superior in every department from goal to outside-left. This was never really a match in the accepted sense of the word. As soon as the strength of the opposition had been gauged, the locals took the opportunity of giving the crowd an exhibition of clever approach work based on overwhelming mid-field superiority... but as far as Manila was concerned it was a very good thing that the local forwards never really managed to finish off their work with the same decision as they built it up.
