Interport footballers, playing their third strenuous game in the Colony in four days, nood make no excuse for their defeat by the Rest of Hongkong yesterday. Rather they are to be congratulated on putting up such a splendid exhibition; and in my opinion at least, they were extremely unfortunate to lose by the odd goal in seven as they did.
For nearly three-quarters of the farrears by the margin of 3-1, but inatch they were the better team. very often these passes went astray. But its the last 15 minutes, they Kiertsen and Chan Tuk-tal were were a very weary side inderd, and the only two forwards to shine.

It was announced, amidst spontaneous applause from

It will be recalled that
Fowler came into collision with a Manila player in the first half of the Interport game on Sunday and was unable to reveal his usual form though
he managed to score the last goal for Hongkong,
