VERY BRIGHT PROSPECTS IN STORE FOR COMING SEASON
"PADDY". BOYD MAY LEAD THE ATTACK
(By "Rover")
THE Kowloon Football Club have signed on several newcomers for this coming season, among whom are S. D. Begg, the former Hong Kong Club Interport forward, and G. Hesse, who has already made a name for himself as a left-handed tennis player.
Another "find" is C. A. Olsen, a very fine defensive player, who has represented the Shanghai Recreation Club second eleven and who also played for Tientsin.
Six Germans, of the Deutscher Klüb, have also been signed on, but they will probably fill the gaps in the second eleven.]
Eastman, who again" skippers the Kowloon side, is one of the best defensive players the Club has had within the past five or xix seasoby.
