Had the sun not played tricks with their goalkeeper, Tai, the three first half goals of the local team may not have been scored, and Saigon would probably have at. tained their desire.
A fact, which, I daresay, has escaped most, is that in all four of their matches here, Saigon lost the toss and played againat | the sun.
Tai at goal for Saigon was less confident than in his previ- ous matches. Lobs appeared to worry him considerably, and though he gave glimpses of his dushing self, these were few and far between.

ELETTERS TO THE
EDITOR
Sir-I have read your article by "Rex" on Saturday with interest, and must agree that the position needs clarifying. May I suggest that the following interpretation of Law 12 could, with advantage, be copied out and bung in all dressing rooms of players:
Play the Ball all the time.
If you must charge an opponent, be sure that your charge is a fair one, and made only when you are making a definite attempt to play the ball. If the ball is not within playing distaner and you charge an opponent merely to keep him off the ball, you will be penalised.
W. M. GLOVER.
