Fans Too Far

Says I. M. MacTAVISH

It is usual at the end of each year or each season for sports writers to look back and produce a retrospect of achievements in their I must confess that I had own particular sport or field of activity. visions of doing just that in this last article of the year....but I have thrown the idea overboard because there are other, and at the moment more important, things to be discussed.

Since last week-end you have probably read and heard all sorts of accurate, distorted or embellished accounts of the happening at the South China-St. Joseph's game at the Club Stadium. The game was quite frankly in many ways a disgrace to Hongkong football, but, in fairness to those individuals who might, by implication, become involved in discussions on the subject, I wish to report an incident which pretty certainly passed the notice of many who saw the game.

In my report on the game 7 made no bones about the fact that I thought St. Joseph's were to blame for much of the crudity and cruelty that took place and I do not retract one word of it.

Neither do I change my re- combed opinton of the utter futility of the work of the re feree who could have saved the situation if he had shown even a modicum of firmness or de termination in control.
