Hongkong Players Not Fast Enough For The Visitors

in the Second Division last year, they won their away matches almost as consistently as they won their home fixtures.

On Saturday two rinks won comfortably and they more than counter-balanced A. R. Minu's defeat by J. Hollidge by 13 shots. Pur- ticularly pleasing to the Indians was the return of form of

The display given by the Saigon footballers yesterday against a selected Hongkong F.A. eleven at Causeway Bay was merely confirmation of the opinion, formed by those who saw their first match against the South China A.A. on Saturday, that the tourists. have little to learn from Hongkong in the finer points of the game. If anything, the boot is on the other foot; for the local men might with profit learn that speed, without sacrificing ball control, is one of the most important factors of football. It was by their spred that the tourists made the Hongkong F. A. team look secand rate.
