REFEREE'S DUTY TO TELL

Footballers Sometimes Forget About The Laws

By Ivan Sharpe

London.

Should a referee tell? The question arises because the Grims- by Town team lost a goal to Leeds United in their First Division match through not knowing-or forgetting-the law. When the Grimsby goalkeeper (Preedy) was penalised for carrying the ball more than the permitted four steps a free kick was awarded five yards from the centre of the goal. The home team knew a goal could not be scored direct from the free-kick but lost sight of an- other important provision, namely, that a player of the offending side "shall not approach within ten yards of the ball until it is in play unless he be standing on his own goal-line, between the goal- posts."

The toult

Petra Wins Far East Tennis Title

Sanchez Ill In Saigon

As generally expected, Yven Petra, the No.

ranking player of France, had no difliculty in winning the Far East Tennis singles championship held at Saigon. He met Samboedjo in the final and won in straight sets after a good battle.

Arriving in Hongkong this morning on his way back to Manila, Leonardo Gavia, one of the two Filipino players who took part in the cham- pionships, brought bad news about Amado Sanchez, his team-mate.

Sanchez developed chicken-pux in Salgen and had to remain in hospital there while Gavia returns alone.

Originally the two Filipinos bad hoped to go from Saigon to Singa- pore before returning to Manila, but Sanchez's iness caused these plans to be abandoned.

Gavia told o Telegraph reporter this morning that the Anal of the doubles was not played, Petra and Robert Mouvet winning on default from Samboedjo and Liem, of Batavia. Liem fell ill just before the match and the tie was awarded to the Europeans.

The following were the results of matches in the singles:
