SPORTING SAM
IN SOCCER AS IN OTHER WALKS OF LIFE..
THERE IS NO JUSTIFICATION WHATSOEVER FOR DOWNRIGHT BAD MANNERS
Says I. M. MacTAVISH
Some months ago I started this column with the statement that there was no excuse for bad manners. The Hongkong football sphere seems to get more than its fair share of provocative incidents and untoward happen- ings but, even with a full realisation of these facts, I reiterate my previous comment "In football, as in every other walk of life, there is absolutely no justification for downright bad manners".
A week or two ngo a sports writer for whom I have considerable admiration was sent to cover one of the week-ond games in the Senior League. He also had to cover another assignment but, in order to do full justice to the soccer match, he made a special effort to arrive at the ground in good time for the kick-off.

THIS AFTERNOON'S RUGGER
ARMY SOUTH PLAY NAVY TODAY-VICTORY MAY MEAN THE CHAMPIONSHIP
By "PAK LO”
A win for Army South today will practically assure them of the top spot in the Hexangular Tournament for even if their nearest rivals, the Club, also win they will still be behind them on aggregate; and since Army South have three games still outstanding after today's game, they are almost certain to add more points to their already impressive total.
The other danger to Army South are their compatriots, "Army North, who are at present only one Hexangular point behind them. But even a win today for Army North will not do the trick, for though they have an outstanding game it is against Army South, and the latter are likely to win.
