(By "Abo"

Had the Hongkong players shown a little better understanding, especially in the forward line, the result of the Junior Interport soccer match against Macao, played on the Kowloon F.C. ground yesterday, would have been very opon. But playing as cloven in- dividuals and not in the least bit as a team, they were defeated by the visitors by five genls to three.
