Chief interest on Saturday will centre in the match on the Club Ground when the Interport team meets the Royal Navy and if the Intter side can hold the Interport "forward line at full strength they will be a good team. If the Inter- port team play, as selected. don't think any team the Navy can select at present will get within three goals of our prob- able representatives, but that has to be proved and if the Nava! side can extend the selected sile they will do good service.
At Kowloon we are favoured with the only Senior League match, and on recent form the Queens' are not likely, to repeat their smashing victory at the Valley when they won by 10 goals to nil South Chins are a team to be respected on their day by the best in the Colony and this should be a good game..
Both the Senior Civilian Clubs of the Colony are fielding strong Reserve Teams and the 'Club Re- serves v. South China, also. Kow- loon v. Chinese Athletic should be games well above the average of junior matches and well worth seeing.
Kowloon are staging a friendly with H.M.S. "Hawkins" and al- though several of the ships' team will no doubt be assisting the Naval XI at the Valley, this should provide a good match for Kowloon spectators.

At half back these scoring forwards will be assisted by Sims, who has yet to play a poor game, with Everest and Watson good workers and both fast. The Eng lish last line of defence nearly top-weight, and may be, on this occasion, and Bishop, Wynne, and Avery will be given a thorough testing. There will be a great amount of interest taken in this game, and in view of the visit of! the South China organisation to Shanghai, coincident with the visit of the Hong Kong Interport tearn to the same port, for a series of games with the Northern Chinese teams, the match on
