Hongkong Selection.... 2 Furukawa F.C....:0 HELTER SKELTER SOCCER Japanese champions create excellent impression against strong Colony side

By I. M. MacTAVISH

Ten thousand cheering soccer fans stayed to the final whistle when the Hongkong selection beat the visiting Furukawa Electric Company team by two goals to nil at the Hong- kong Football Club Stadium last night.

The lively, sharp-as-a-needle Japanese side brought a welcome breath of fresh air into our football affairs and, while they could never quite match the Colony side in class and power, their tremendous enthu- siasm and their helter skelter approach to the game produced as satisfying an occasion as we have enjoyed for a long time.
