Hong Kong's Method of Attack

THE CHINA MAIL,

If they play as well against the Malays as they did against the Malayan Chinese at the Stadium (when they won by three goals to one) local football aspiranta, es- pecially the Asiatic section, should learn many useful things from the all too short visit here of the Hong Kong Chinese Football team during their Malayan tour. One applies their teaching more particularly to

Appreciation of M.C.C.

McWalters, who prosecuted, said fast, these wingers very properly draw a man first and then centro.

A common fault among wing men in Singapore when they receive a forward pass from the ceatre for ward is to cut across to the goal at an angle of forty-five degrees and, unable to get square of the goal because of the defence, in most cases, they are forced to shoot at a narrow angle. If there is a good goalie between the sticks these shots rarely get through. The winger's job, without doubt, is to gain ground and to draw the de- fence before centering; to rely on the inside forwards to get the goals, except on care decasiona At any rate that is the generally accepted principle and one which our visitors have auccessfully adopted. One of the main reasons for this auc cess is because their wingers show a splendid control of the ball, a control by the way, which is the forte of the whole team even as far as their headwork.

London, May 1. The cricket season was officially opened to-day in cold and cloudy weather.

At Lord's, the M.C.C. were op- posed to Surrey, and this match was regarded as coming under County Rules as far as testing the new re- Fulations was concerned, while Nottingham and Essex were en- gaged in a friendly match in which the new ruies were also tried.
