RESUME OF INTERPORT HOCKEY

Shanghai Needs Stricter Refereeing

WHY HONG KONG WAS

SUPERIOR

(By "ADREM"}

("Hong-Kong Daily Press"-Special Correspondent)

I was in Shanghai for about nine days, when I had an oppor tunity to see all the games in which the Hong Kong Ladies In- terpart eleven played. Below I give a resume of the games I wit- nessed. I have also included some remarks about the refereeing in Shanghai which I have no hesitation is saying, is very stack compared with the standard prevailing here. This, I feel is the real reason for the superiority shown by Hong Kong, in the three games they engaged in while in the Northern port.

THE GAMES

1 is past history that the Hong Kong

Ladies Hockey Interport team defeated the American Giris 6-0, the Shanghai Interport side 1-0, and the Rest of Shanghai 5-0. Thus in the three games played an aggregate of 12 goals were scored, at an average of 4 goals a maten,

is because of the stricter referee- Ing in Hong Kong.

Shanghai, I can recall com- plained of the refereeing in Hong Kong last year, and I think it was just as well that the actual Inter- port game on that occasion was played on the last day of their Visit us by that time, they had become accustomed to the stricter code observed by the local referee

In the Hong Kong v. the "Rest" game at Shanghai, the latter were continually committing offences punishable drastically here, where- as Hong Kong's lapses were few and far between. It was amply demonstrated during this game, because of the refereeing Hong Kong were accustomed to locally, they put more reliance in their stick work, all of which stood them in good stead while in Shanghai.

that

Before ending I must draw your attention to the fact that Shang- al also defeated the "Rest" XI (before the actual arrival of the Hong Kong side) by a five goal margin, the score in fact being 7-2. It would seem thus to indicate that Hong Kong and Shanghai were evenly matched, since Hons Kong also obtained a 5 clear goal victory, over the same "Rest" I

H. K. LADIES SURPRISE WIN

A feature of the week-end hockey was the keen interest shown in the Cher Clark Cup fixed between the CBA. and the 8t. Andrew's Ladies. The game took place 'on the Police trála- ing ground and ended in a 3 goal to 1 victory for the C.B.A.

Miss M. Smalth, (C.B.A.) and Miss P. Gittlas (St. A) were v.sit to back again on the local Beld after their strendous Shantha and the pair soon settled down to some pretty hockey. The "Y" Ladies had little difficulty in defeating the Retrelo Ladles, and completed their league fixtures with 11 points.

In the Brawn Cup Competition the O, B, Schoolgirls defeated the Association by 7 goals to all after a very onesided game.

The only upset was the surprising defeat of the D.G.S. by the H.K. Ladies. The game was evenly contested from start to finish and it was only the efforts of the E.K. Ladies' defence that prevented the D.GS. forwards from netting.

HONG KONG'S TEAM WORK The team work shown in that Brst game, coupled with their overwhelming victory, must have given the Hong Kong girls a great deal or confidence in their ability as a team, for once the Interport I knew that game commenced, .hey could hold their own against the pick of Shanghai. Prior to the match most people-particu- larly so the sports writers of the Shanghat press were confident, that Bhanghai would win, since it was an established fact that the side sent down from Shanghai last year to baitie in Hong Kong, was not by any means their strongest, yet they only went down 1-0., on a ground was In splendid shape
