THE CHINESE LINE-UP WAS AN INSULT TO THE INTELLIGENCE

Says I. M. MacTAVISH

THE CHINA MATET MONDAY, JANUARY 1955);

COLIN, COWDREY IN ACTION

Seldom if ever has a greater injustice been created against the fair name of Charity than the circumstances that produced the crushing defeat of the Chinese Amateur Athletic Federation XI in the Governor's Cup match at Caroline Hill yesterday,

The line-up as it took the fleld was an insult to the intelligence of the faithful and long-suffering spectators who were enticed to the arena by the promise of an even mulch and a chance of secing their "big name" favourites in action.

A Big Game That Really Lived Up To Expectations

Here at last was a big game that really lived up to expectations. The 20,000 cheering fans who packed into Caroline Hill on Saturday, got their money's worth of thrills and sensations and it stands to the credit of the 22 players and Referee Kearney' that this pulsating and vital encounter never lagged in pace or in standard.

From first to last the speed of the play was tremen- dous. The game had all the trimmings of the big occasion and South China's victory was well and worthily won... although there was a time in the second half when it looked as though Kitchee might manage to save at least a point.
