Alleged Inefficiency Of

Football Referee

ALLEGATIONS of inefficiency and complaints against referees occupied the attention of the Hongkong Football Association Council at their monthly meeting yesterday. The matter arose first from incidents in the Kwong Wah-Eastern match on February 23, and secondly from those in the Sing Tao-Kowloon match later.

LISTLESS KOTEWALL

CUP MATCH

Army-Navy Scoreless Draw

(By "SCRAMBLER").

IN A GAME DEVOID of interest, in which the standard of football served was well below first division, the Navy and Army ́played, to a goalless draw when they met yesterday at Caro- fine Hill in the Kotewall Cup Competition. It was a game in which the rugged Navy defence found themselves up against a smooth Army attack.

If anything, Army deserved to win, for during the greater part of the game, they were on the offensive, and only the sterling work put in by Roughley and O'Regan, and the fine goalkeeping of Giff prevented the Army from scoring.'

The Army were stronger inj ter fate. Both Barber and Le Page attack where Fox in the inside were seen to the fore, and were both instrumental in getting their men right berth made his presence away on numerous occasions. felt. He was forever scheming to get his men away, falling way diatributing it with fine preci- back to bring the ball up, and

The Navy wingers were weak compared to ther opponents, where if Skinner had been able to zet rid I of the ball in time and with accuracy, the Inside, trio would have been able to turn the same to good account, Anderson too was alow, but he put in slightly more effective werk than Skloner.
