CHINA AND UNITED STATES MEET TOMORROW IN CHARITY EXHIBITION GAME

China and the United States, considered by many as the two strongest teams in the International Series, are matched in the feature Charity Exhibition programme tomorrow in aid of the Shumshuipo Fire Fund, commencing at 2 p.m. at King's Park, and if the Chinese ball- players can find the speed, precision and ideas, they are given a good chance of heating the Americans, drawn largely from the USS Orca team. China will have to show more team spirit if they are to make much progress And it difficult to understand why Mark Kwong, C., C. against the United States. Lee and Chey Tsol could not solve their problem in the final selectcion of the All- Star Chinese squad, and even at the time of writing, the full-strength Chinese side could not be ascertained,

This Goalkeepers' Protection

Racket

By I. M. MacTAVISH

During last season had a long talk with a well-known interna- tional centre-forward on the subject of, what he liked to call, "This Goalkeepers' Protection Racket": He meant by this the reluctance of referees to permit forwards to apply the shoulder charge to the goal- kooper and he was of the opinion that many legitimate goals had been chalked off by timid referees who offered the goalkeeper protection beyond that laid down in an intelligent interpretation of the rules of the

game.

The strange thing about this controversial point is that most goalkeepers do not want, nor do they require, excessive protection. The most famous example of this in recent years happened at Cardiff a couple of seasons ago when iron- Chouldered Trevor Ford crashed Jimmy Cowan, the Scottish international goal- keeper, to the ground with a tremendous shoulder charge.
