A. K. OMAR TO MAKE DEBUT
(By Rover") SEVERAL team changes will feature the First Division League soccer encounter between the Recreio and St. Joseph's which will take place to-morrow afternoon on the former's ground at King's Park, and which is expected to provide some thrilling soccer.
The Recreio following their meritorious display against the *Lincolns last week, when they were without the services of A. V. Gosano, B. Gosano and N. Beltrao, are expectd to put up a better showing to-day, although the Saints have also done remarkably well since the season began and are now leading the First Division. The latter surprised even their most optimistic critics last week when they beat the Club at home by an only goal and this was no fluke either.
The following is Rover's fore favoured team in capital letters:
