MACAO VICTORY

Visitors' Defence Holds Out

(By "SCRAMBLER”)

PLAYING AGAINST a South China cloven composed of four first and seven second division players, the Combined Macao team staged a fine rally to win by the odd goal in seven, after trailing behind at the interval by the odd goal in three.

The fare served was not up to local first division standard, but nevertheless it had its share of excitement, especially towards the close of the game when the visitors had to go all out to keep South China from equalising.

Credit must be given for the fine way in which the visitors' defence held out, and to Cordova, at left back, must go the chief honours for their victory, for without him, Macao would un- doubtedly have gone under. It was his superb display that saved their charge on numerous occasions.

Where possible, the player should be penalised who, by lifting the ball, leads up to dangerous play or causes a breach of the rules by other players, and not the player wha, for example, is induced to give "slicks" through the lifting of the ball by an opponent.

So with such a contingency in view it is an offence to keep the hand in contact with the ball.
