LAST WEEK'S MAJOR MATCH
IN RETROSPECT
Probables And Improbables For The Interport
(BY "PIVOT"")
Last week's semi-final of the Lai Wah Cup between the Civi- of those Hans and Chinese will lohr remain in the memory who had witnessed it. Opinion of the game must necessarily bo divided some must have gone away from it with keen disap- charitable, considered that pointment, and others, the more they had their money's worth.
I do not wish to re-open an old wound but the charges levelled at the press by certain quarters that it had been "un' duly severe in their criticism of the game, compels me to say something more about the whole affair...
There is no denying the fact that from the start the Chinese were guilty of rough play. There were too much ankles tapping and deliberate fouls indulged in but these were let off, thanks to the larity of the referee.
Tam Kour Pak was deservedly sent off. He was harbouring under a grievance in that a few minutes earlier he was fairly charged by Elliot. The incident leading up to Tam being sent off was this: He obtained possession of the ball, brought it up and awaited for Elllót, and as soon as the Club player ap- proached the ball Tam deliberate "let fly" at Elliot without even attempting to kick the ball. Such a deliberate act "called for the severest punishment.
The football served on that day was bright in patches and there was no doubt had the referee taken a strong hand in the whole affair, and had the Chinese stopped at those petty fouls, It would have turned out .o be a first rate game.
Rough and dangerous play scam to be in vogue aș may be seen in some of the junior matches. Such actions on the part of the player call for the most severe punishment. However the criticisms are not meant to be personal or offensive, It is writ- ten in the hope that in the future such ungentlemanly tactics will be avoided and a better standard of play, worthy of the best traditions of soccer be the result.
THE INTERPORT Much has been written and dis- cussed regarding the Interport Team. Needless to say the Selec- tion Committee have their eyes on the probables and perhaps even before the trial game tomorrow the team is as good as chosen, per- haps, with the exception
