THE CHINA MAIL, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 6, 1955.

Learn soccer with the stars GOALKEEPERS MUST NOT SNATCH

THE other day I saw a goalkeeper pick up a fast ground shot on the run, like a cricketer fielding on the boundary: "Nice work," said someone. I said: "It's rotten."

That ball might have hit his hands and bounded back to the oncoming forwards. Or it might have slipped through his hands-and then there would have been nothing between it and the gond.

A goalkeeper must put as much of his body as possible between the goal and the ball, so that if the bull slip through his hands there is still something else to stop it; and he must use his hands, not to snatch the ball off the ground or from the air, but to scoop it into the safe hollow of his body, so that there's no chance of it bouncing out.

If it is a ground shot got down on one knee, let the ball run over your hands and then scoop it in- to your stomach, If it is chest high, bend for ward as much as
