The Spotlight Today Is On The Army

Although the Army's Chinese clubs have not been so convincing as their shrewder followers would wish, the spol-light of this week-end's local soccer programme is beamed strongly on their match with Chinese Athletic this afternoon.

The way the soldiers snatched victory from apparent defeat, against KMB. last Saturday, has captured the public imagination. South China's "A" team are without a fix- ture this week-end: apart from Kitchee's home match with the Navy, Sookunpoo is the big attraction of the week-end. (By SEE TEE)

15.-TIME WASTAGE

In local football, where most matches are of only 35 minutes' duration each way, as compared with the usuni 45, it behoves Referees always to have their eyes open for deliberate time-wasting.

This question of allowing extra time to make up for that lost through accident or other cause frequently crops. up. It is one of those things of which the Referco is the sole judge, but, from the point of view of the result of the game, it may be most important.
