Fine Game.
+
(BY HAS BEEN ").
A large and enthusiastle crowd was thrfled by some scintil- lating and always interesting football in the Charity match be- tween the Combined Services and the Rest of the Colony on the Hong Kong Football Club ground yesterday. The game was one of fluctuating fortunes and though the final tally was five. goals to two in favour of the Civilians, the margin in acinal actual play was nothing like so great and, at one period the losers were definitely playing the better football.
The Bervices led two-one at half-time and this would have been three-one, or even four-one, but for some' superb work in the defence by Costa, Lee Tin-sang and Parker. The first- named in particular was outstanding. Playing at left back, he broke up attack after attack, showing wonderful anticipation and tackling cleanly. Lee was perhaps a little more polished, but his "flowery" work was at times fraught with an element of danger. Parker was an ideal left-half. These three were with- out doubt the best performers on the field.
again, Howlett sent in a beautifully directed pass, and Parker broke in between the backs and scored with a pile-driver to equalise.
During this period the Services', repulsed but they swept back attack was positively brilliant, ball control being the great feature. The right flank was particularly active and though the first goal was actually sent in by McGuigan, Pearson at centre-forward and Adams also shared the credit. At this stage the Civilians inside trio were badly shown up and Howlett of the Police in particular made many mistakes. (He was, how ever, to redeem himself in the second half).
THE PLAY
The first few minutes' play found the Rest attacking strongly and an early goal nearly came when a nice movement on the left wing wound 11p with Lau Shui-wing taking a pot-shot at goal, which was. however, easily saved by Rowlands,
After a quarter of an hour the Services took up the running and a header from. Saw nearly took Sammy Tsang in goal by surprise. Shortly afterwards Pearson shot through a number of players in the penalty area and Tsang was clearly beaten but the shot was just too high and rebounded into play from the crossbar. The Rest broke away and Han Ching-to (Eastern) got through on his own and sent in an acutely angled shot which just cleared the top.
The first goal came soon after this when! a combined forward Television will play an impor-crovement resulted in the ball be- tant role in broadcasting arrangeing sent in from the left wing. meats for Armistice Day.

OFF-SIDE GOAL?
"Castilho "was directly responsible for the Rest taking the lead. He took a pass from Howlett, swung round, dribbled a few yards, tap- ped the ball practically on to Lau Shul-wing's foot and the latter had only to steady himself and shoot past the helpless Rowlands.
Round about this time the game was nearly all Fowler, How- lett and Lau. Every time Fowler got the ball the crowd tensed, ex- pecting something, and though, of course, goals did not materialise time, there were thrills each

Without hesitating the latter took it on the swerve and sent in an acute-angled shot past Sheehan, left back, who had Row- lands unsighted.
The last few minutes of the game saw some sporadic attacks by the Services, but mostly it was the Rest forward line that caught the eye. Seldom could there have been a more complete reversal of form than that of Howlett's. Dur-
