HONGKONG yesterday brought off a great
victory against Shanghai in one of the most extraordinary football Interport matches over played. Before a crowd of 6,000, the teams bat- tlod first in drizzle and then in blinding snow, until finally everybody was at a standstill. Swain, Colony right back, collapsed and Harry Madar, Shanghai's left half had to leave the field for at- tention.
After obtaining a 3-1 lead early in the second half Hongkong finally won, what Reuter's cor- respondent describes as "a thoroughly deserved This is Hong- victory", by the odd goal in five. kong's eighth win against Shanghai, while the northern port has nine successes on record.
