lately I do not think that they will win this match. Still, without the "Kent" stalwarts, the Navy should be strong enough to win, with a bit in hand, at Sookumpoo.
The junior programme contains one or two interesting matches, the chief being the meeting of the K.O.S.B. and the Chinese Athletic, which the former should win. The [lly "Rover"]

Programme of the Remaining Matches
With the football season draw- ing to a close there are senior and junior matches which, owing to cancellation, have to be played in mid-week.

Somersets are still in the Shield Competition and with Kowloon in their present form the match should be a good one. I hear that the Somersets possess a couple of. smart forwards, and are a sound side all round. Kowloon will have to fight hard for the points, but may just get them.

"The big match of the day is the meeting of the Chinese Athletic and the Police R.C. at Caroline Hil Both teams are going strong for the League championship with the Athletic holding the better re- cord to date. A win to-morrow for either Club would place them favourites. The big ground at Caroline H will suit the Athletic and the Police, and a fine struggle should be the result. Wynne was badly burnt on Wednesday in the Shield match and his absence against the clever Athletic left wing will be a big loss. I am in- clined to think that the chances are slightly in favour of the Athletic, but the macth should be an excit- ing one and full of good football.

The Club v. RA. match on the Club ground will probably be for four points, owing to the fixtures being behind and neither Club is in a favourable position on the League. The introduction of Goldman will make a big differ enec to the Club, who should win full points.
