REASSURING DISPLAY BY

A LIVELY AND HARD HITTING HONGKONG TEAM By I. M. MacTAVISH

In the brightest and most entertaining game of the current serios a refreshingly lively All-Hongkong side went down to a narrow 2-1 defeat against the visiting Peruvians at the Hongkong Stadium last night.

The game provided good football fare for a crowd of only 13,000 spectators but it was a reassuring sight to see a Hongkong team at last showing the fighting spirit which was so much lacking in the earlier two games.
