SHANGHAI'S margin of defeat should have been greater than the odd goal in this rousing and wholly delightful match at Sookunpoo yesterday. They had most of the play and none of the luck.
But the match was a worthy "curtain" to the 1937 Interport series, producing a better type of football than either of the previous two games. Shanghai, though somewhat jaded after four strenuous days, played very gallantly, and were good losers
to a better team,
His hearty tackling and big kicking constantly relieved threatening situa flons and he was easily the pick of the Shanghat backs.
BEAUTIFUL SMOOTHNESS The Services attack functioned with beautiful smoothness, Le Page excelled himself on the right wing, making light of the opposition pro- vided by Bell and Victal. He en joyed the assistance of an under- standing partner in Howlett and it was this wing which gave Shanghal greater concern.
Ferguson was another very useful
member of the attack, and although I am inclined to think his goal was

Candid Camera Studies Of The Shanghai Footballers
When
the. staff's candid cameraman wandered down to the Navy ground at Causeway Bay last weeks be found quite a number of interesting subjects.
The Shanghai Interport foot-
ballers were having a work out,
and here are some of the results of his camera work.
Tap picture shows some of the
footballers talking things over, with Bossuet quite clearly "bold" ing the floor". Reading from left Foyn, to right is Roboostoff, Victal, Bossuet, Jack Ward (half behind the pillar) and Willie Ward, his brother.

Marcal Thil Hit Below The Belt
AND RETAINS HIS TITLE:
Paris, Feb, 15. Marcal Thil regained his world's middleweight boxing title here to night: when his opponent, the French-Canadian. Lou Brouillard was disqualified in the sixth round of a 15 round contest for an alleged fout blow
Bouillard caught Thil a severe blow
under the belt and the champion crumpled to the floor. Thil could not move on his own and had to be half carried across the ring to his corner by the referee, a Belgian named Falone-United Press.
FIGHT DESCRIBED
A Reuter message describing the @ght says the first round was even, though Thil won the second and the fourth and Bouillard the third and Afth.
In the sixth round Thil dashed from his corner and received an apparent- ly low blow. He was counted out und the fight awarded to Brouillard. Afterwards the desicion was 10- versed, the referee holding that Thil had been fouled. It is noteworthy that Brouillard lost title 'bout against Thil in n similar manner on January 20, 1938
SPIES IN THE STAND
A PROTEST
(Frank M. Carruthers)
The footballer has made the startling discovery that though he may misbehave on the blind sido of the referee, he is still liable to be punished.
Within the last few weeks three players have been
suspended, al- though they were not sent off the feld, and I think it may be assumed that the authorities Beted on Infor- mation other than that laid by the referees.
I am prepared for a full-throated protest on the part of, the, clubs against oMelals who sit on the stand and undertake the duties of officials In charge of a match,
"It is the first time we have had spies in football," said a manager "and 1 offer the strongest protest against their introduction."
CUP FINAL PRECEDENT But although the practice punishing players who have not been sent off the field by the referee is unusual, it has happened on several occasions.-The most notable-in- stance was that which concerned a Cup Anal many years ago.
It has always been a principle of the Football Association that a mem- ber of the council' even in a private capacity should be responsible for the welfare of the game. Recently I understand that it has been emm- phasised that this should be more [generally accepted in order, that the control of the game should be tigh- tened, and it is probably on this docount that offences which have escaped the notice of referees have been reported.
