To start with, the history of the game in Durham County is one of difficulties overcome, of unquench- able enthusiasm, and of a polde which has known how to meet failure after hardly-achieved suc- cess and how to fight back to distinction The authors have throughout preserved a just and proportionale view of the game. bearing always in mind the work of rank and file, which has made personal triumphs by the "glants" no more than part of the integral team-work, fabric.

This history is. "mutatis mutan dle," the history which counties who do not own it should covet A quotation or two will serve to show the general interest the book possesses for all who, as players or spectators... follow the game.

CHINESE

DISSATISFIED

With Lai Wah Cup.

Game Against Army

The Chinese are likely to appeal to the Hong Kong Football "Asso- ciation Council concerning their Lai Wah Cup match against the Army on Sunday, with which they are aleged to be dissatisfied.

Dissatisfaction is stated to lie with the referee's decision to play extra time, and having made that decision, to abandon the game making necessary a replay,

The Management Committee is understood to have debated the matter but no official statement has been made.

It is probable that the matter will be brought up by the Chinese be- fore the next Council meeting.
