ARMY v. CLUB MATCH ON SATURDAY WAS THE FIRST HIGHLIGHT OF THE SEASON

Says "HANLINCODE"

The spectators who made the journey on Saturday afternoon, to the Army ground, Seokunpoo, must have felt well satisfied with the out- ing for seldom in Hongkong are the Rugby fans treated to such a game as they witnessed on Saturday afternoon.

The weather was ideal for the occasion as far as the spectators were concern- ed; bright sunshine and an ideal temperature, although the light, uncertain breeze blowing diagonally across the field in disconcerting puffs, must have rather worried the place kickers, even if it did not have any real effect on the game. The ground looked rather hard too.

The opening game between the Navy XV and the RAF XV was very disap- pointing indeed. Just what has happened to the Fliers in their week's absence would be hard to put a finger on, but this certainly was far from the team that played previously. It lacked cohesion, had no go at all and there just wasn't any defence

to speak of.

When Arsenal Taught

Fulham A Lesson In The Finer Arts Of Football

By DENNIS HART

London, Oct. 29.

It would have been a travesty of football justice if Fulham's last-ditch rally had been enough to gain them even one point from their London 'derby' with Ar- senal at Highbury on Saturday, October 27.

THEY'LL TRY TO PUT OUT THE LIGHTS FOR

FOOTBALL

Says W. CAPEL KIRBY

Are vested interests the biggest potential, danger to floodlight football? It's arrived all right, but Harry Swan, ustule business man behind the outstanding success of Hibernian, is convinced that theatres, cinemas and other night entertainment concerns will attempt lo put in the poison when they realize the menace of evening matches attracting 60,000 people and drawing £10,000 gates.

"Something tells me people with vested interests will laurich a campaign by throwing out furtive hints that the amount of coal required to generate current for 30 minutes football would be enough to steam a troopship to the Suez and back, or something equally ridiculous 80 long as it stirs up trouble and leads to Whitehall interven- tion," explained Mr Swan,

"Having played them both I should know," he said.
