During the ninety minutes this game lasted at the Hongkong Stadium the Combined Chinese had half-a-dozen scoring chances for everyone that fell to the visitors, yet at the end all they had to show for their pitiless pressure was a solitary goal scored from the penalty spot by Ko Po-keung in the first half.

Strong And Resourceful Full Back In Colony's

Yesterday evening on the Club ground under the flood- lights, the Club "B" were well and truly trounced in a friendly match against the Green Howards by 10 points (2 goals, I drop goal, 1 penalty goal) to 8 points (1 goal, I try) in a rather scrappy though Interesting game.

But the main news of the evening was that the Colony

side will be boosted by the inclusion of Maurice. O'Kelly, the Colony full back, for its last three games of its lour, which incidentally are the major ones.

We've said it before, thirteen times, now we say it again, "Goodbye, Stanley Matthews." Since he first played for England in 1935 Matthews has been dropped thirteen times. Each time he returned to prove the selectors so utterly wrong. Now, at 42, it seems that time has finally caught up even with Matthews. The ageless wonder is showing some damage if he could signs of his years.

He doesn't take his old familiar place on the right wing when England line up against Wales at Cardiff on October 19. Instead nippy little Brian Douglas wears the No. 7 shirt. Douglas, 23 years old, wasn't born when Stan first began performing his tricks on the right wing. He faces one of the toughest tasks in sport, or in any sphere, that of following a master.
