OF A REFEREE'S DUTIES and Best

Saye L M MacTAVISH

Since the Senior Match between Kwong Wah and the Army last Sunday a great deal has been written and even more has been said about Incidents concerning Mr Kearney, the referee who was in charge of the game.

I leave others to argue the ethics of certain happenings, as far as visitations to the field of play are concerned, but there was one such visit to the referee the field of play during the interval that is of the greatest importance to players In Hongkong.

But the great thing is that on occasion regular

approaches have to be made, and after the current trouble, they are ob vhusty best made in the privacy of the dressing room.

SUMS IT UP

There is an old saying in Bri- Loin. "Heads I'm right, talls

It is often neccssary for off- chals to

make approaches referes un absolutely au- thentic and legitimate matters quring the interval of a game. After the present rumpus it will be difficult for an official to ap- | proach the roferte without mning the risk of starting at the best, speculation and, at the worst, controversy.

I have had a relatively long and comprehensive education in the ways of the game and I think I make little or no error of fact when I say that the custom of players and officials remaining on the field of play during the in Sentor games is to this part of the world.
