The Third Back Game
THERE is a lot of talk going on
about Hongkong adopting the third back game. I hope it is so much-moonshine. The third back- method is purely negative and de- fensive football. It denies your own attack of its essential liaison, the centre-half, and forces your backs into spreading out, whereas they are probably accustomed to covering the middle of the field. Quite apart from its shortcomings as a system, I feel the third back game is not what the Colony should indulge in on Thurs- day, largely because our players are unaccustomed to it and have not its technique at their Anger tips. The old fashioned, but orthodox, method of wing halves concentrating more on their wingers and the full backs covering the centre of the leid, will, I feel sure, prove more beneficial to the Colony than the third back game.
