Home matches with Ireland, France and Portugal (prov.) at Wembley and visits to Wales, Scotland, Yugoslavia, Russia and the World Cup competition in Sweden. In addi- tion there are the "Under 29" Internationals home to Rumania and Bulgaria aud away to Wales and Scotland.

But Malaya spurted ahend in a series of flerce attacks on the vaitors goal axl at halftime the acore stood at 3-2 in Hong- kong's favour.

The second half was marked by the rugged Hongkong de- fence and the persistent Malayan atlocks, most of which falled.

Hongkong goalkeeper Tami was his side's hero in this belf and won the applause of the crowd as he fended off shot after chot.
