MANILA FOOTBALLERS

UNLUCKY TO LOSE TO REST

Visitors Again Fail To Last Distance

(By "Abe")

The Manila Interport footballers, playing| their third strenuous game in the Colony in four days, need mako no excuse for their defeat by the Rest of Hongkong yesterday. Rather they are to bo congratulated on putting up such a splendid exhibition; and in my opinion at least, they were extremely unfortunate to lose by the odd goal in seven as they did.

Few people seem to realise the importance which at- taches to footwork at hockey. If one picks up any of the many useful books on the game, one would find little or

A remark one often hears after a me la "I wonder why it is that so-and-so shoots so hard with 30 little effort. He never gives sticks and seems to take his stick a very short distance before hitting the ball, and yet he shoots harder than any one i have seen."
