These same features were reflected INTERPORT In the Shanghai half backs, particulur. ly in the case of Stanley Gash and Remedios.

If anything it inspired him to give his forwards greater op- portunities, and he played a true captain's part in the team's auccess.
Remedios had the full measure of Seal, and found his task as a defender so simple that he had plenty of time to attend to the needs of Keats and Jack,
Vance was not quite so prominent, although he was always too good for Wong Mei-shun, and if not quite so polished as his colleagues, was ab- solutely efficient.
