Guterres of the University will play in the right-half position for the Portuguese. Otherwise the.
rest of the team will be the same that represented the Club de Recreio in the first division of the league Incidentally it might be mentioned that the team is the same as that which represented Hongkong against Shanghai a few weeks ago, in the Portuguese: interport soccer festival.

There is one game in the first division of the League, Kowloon being at home. to South China. Having won the Shield, Kowloon will now go all out to secure the "double," and thereby set up a record for this Colony.. South China will be at full strength and will give their opponents a good game. After Kowloon's two strenuous games in the Shield, a reaction may set in and they will have to look to their play; other- wise an unbeaten, "home" record may go west..

In the junior "B" section, Kow- loon Reserves are at home to the South China "C" and it is here if anywhere that the Chinese team may lose their unbenten record.
