SECOND BESTS ONCE AGAIN COME TO THE RESCUE OF OUR SOCCER

SOCCER REPUTATION

By "SPIV"

Once again, as in several pust representative soccer matches, the much under-estimated Hongkong Selection XI, generally regarded as the Colony's second string, proved to be Hongkong's mainstay against an invading team.

Against Halsingborg yesterday it was generally conceded that they would lose by as many as six goals to nil. At the end of the first half, however, the Hongkong Setection team were leading by one goal to nil.

The sceptical waited for a repetition of Saturday's game when Halsingborg came back with five goals in the second half, but the repetition never came.

Britain's most probable Daphne Wilkinson and Margaret McDowall, two of 1952 Olympic swimmers, are now working their way to Helsinki by widely different methods.
