DANGEROUS PLAY NOT Selected For

THE SAME AS ROBUST PLAY Incidents One Sees On Local Soccer Fields

(By "Abo")

In all my reports of soccer matches, I have studiously tried to avoid saying anything depreciatory of referees, chiefly because they are a much-maligned class of men whose worth is seldom fully appreciated by the public, and also usually, I have noticed, those who criticise referees' are themselves wrong.

Only those who have seen soccer) matches in foreign parts realise and appreciate how good our offeints are. When the Islington Corinthians were in Hongkong last year, they salt our officials were the beat they had on- countered in the East high com- pliment indeed and one which

know was made in good faith and not in any attempt to be polite be cause "Pat" Clarke told me that himself. I heartily agree with what the Islingtonians said.

Therefore, it would clear things a lat if I were to explain that if I criticise refertes in any way, I do not do so in any carping spirit.

In a recent game, I had occasion

to add at the end of my report that too many peity infringements were allowed to pass unpunished, and

a result dangerous play crept into the game. This match was handied by referee, whom I have always admired: he is one of our best re- ferees, but feeling what I did, I said!

TO PLAY REST OF HONGKONG

INTERESTING RUGGER AT HAPPY VALLEY

(By "Fly Naif")

This afternoon on the Club ground, two good games of rugger are promised. At 2.45 p.m., Club "A" will play a side drawn from H.M.S. Tamar and the Small Ships. This game will be followed at 4 p.m. by a game between the Club Interport side and the Rost of the Colony.
