IMPRESSIONS OF THE SOCCER XI IN SHANGHAI
(By S. A. Gray)
HONGKONG'S SOCCER TEAM may have lost the interport match, but they won Shanghai's admiration, and no company of men could have been more gonoròusly lionised. Shanghai's hoss pitality was overwhelming, and it was a very grateful and impressed team which bade farewell after ten mamorable days in the northern metro- polis.
THE defeated Hongkong boys
roared "Roll Out The Bar- rel" as they left the Canidrome after the match, but Shanghai
didn't need the reminder. Ask the boys themselves!

About the only time. they weren't planning things for the comfort and entertainment of the Hongkung lads was while they were on the ield of play; even then, I suspect, they were figuring out what next they could do to make the visit remain inore than a vague memóry. You have my word for it that they succeeded.

HONGKONG FA, need not fear
they will have no chance for reciprocity. Both Fred Bridges and Stun Gush have sworn that they are coming to the Colony next year with The Shanghai team.
