WHY HAS EASTERN'S DOUBLE TRIUMPH RAISED SO LITTLE ENTHUSIASM IN THE COLONY?
Asks I. M. MacTAVISH
The 1955-56 football season is now drawing its last few delaying breaths and in the temporary respite from the desperation of the com- petitive element It is probably a good thing to look arojind and take stock of what we see.
The Eastern sideboard is soon to be enhanced by the double display of the Senior Shield and the League Championship trophy. By any standards, and in any company, theirs is a fine performance. Itshould be a time for back-alapping and the wholesale acclamation of the new Champlona, yet the congratulations service which is being offered to Ko Po-keung and his teammates la strangely quiet.
