TOURISTS BEAT HONGKONG F.A. TEAM EASILY

SUPERIOR IN EVERY PHASE OF THE GAME

(By "Abo")

· 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 speed that the tourists made the Hongkong F. A. team look second rate.

Almost throughout the whole learned the game well. He Wha encounter, the superiority, of the almost as prominent in attack as in tourists was never in doubt, although defence, and completely over- they could not emphasise this by shadowed Lim Tak-po, hla opposite Was more than one goal by the thine the number, although the latter interval arrived.
