His opposite number, N. Lt. Whitley, was resourceful Hook, who played centre half for the colours, was very judi- cious in his passes and in my opinion is the only player for the right half berth.-

GOOD PARTNERSHIP

The Selectors did well to partner Gonsalves and Bond as backs for 4the Colours in the second half and they formed a very harmon- lous pair. They have all the es- sential attributes requisite for checking such a fast forward line as Macao have. Sommer, who is stop the ball with the prone to hand, and is not so fast, was changed to partner Taylor. Gur- bachan Singh scored a very good goal for the Colours in the second half of a solo, dribbling clean through the defence. The tourth goal came from Pyara Singh at the left wing berth.
