This brought furth protests from the whole of the South China, and after con sultation with the linesmen the referee adbered to his decision and the ball was placed in the centre.

However, the referee was in good position to judge and he made no hesitation in gising his decision.

The East Surreys were determined to give of their best, and a fine combination between Eaton and Humberstone gave the former i fine opening and he gave Lau no chance with a fast groum shot, the ball entering the net near the post.
