WEAK AS WATER KITCHEE England v. Scotland Lightweight Challengers

ARE UPSET BY A STRANGE "ADVANTAGE" DECISION

By I. M. MacTAVISH

The Royal Air Force took a valuable point from this very ordinary game at Club Stadium last evening but Kitchee will probably look on it in the light of the 'We wuz robbed' doctrine and, taking a single incident as the basis for that reasoning, there is certainly something to be said for it.

Nevertheless a football match is more than one incident, however far-reaching, unfortunate, or unjust it may be and over the piece the much vaunted Kitchee boys were more than a shade fortunate to save a point. But in fairness to Chow Man-chi and his colleagues let me say a word or two about the upsetting situation which turned elation to despondency in the toot of a whistle.

A few minutes before the in-fu diefender but, hanging would have been a lorry show 1erval Kitchee staged a fast at-tenaciously on to the ball, ho indeed, tack down the middle.
