South China were given a great reception wherever they went and their matches were at- tended by larger crowds than in previous tours. The reason was, principally, that the public wanted to see the South China team which had brought off the Hong Kong “Double”—-winiting First Division of the League and the Senior Shield without the services of a number of their former star players.
In Singapore the crowd was so large that in the Connie first game, against Combined Singapore, the play- ers were not able to get to the ground and the officials in charge were afraid of opening the gates for fear of a rush. It was only with the assistance of the police, who had to use force at times, that the players were able to get in. In the game against Combined Services the players had to be ground two hours before the kick-off, and all tickets to the ground were sold out an hour before the
