Charity soc game between a team representing the Rest of the Colony and the South China Athletic Association
at Caroline Hill yesterday served but two useful purposes, and
Pan Ka-ping, the Combined Chinese custodiagt, left, and N. Beltrao,^ the Best's centre-half, both gave sterling displays in yesterday's charity football match on the Caroline Hili ground.
those were the providing of a few dollars to the Saiyaan Refugees "ROVER'S” GLIMPSES FROM
Fund wed, the establishing, beyond a doubt, the claims of five layers for the forthcoming Interport game against Shanghai.
The match was very poorly supported owing to the weather,
nd even the presence of Lee Wai-tong, football idol of China, did
ot attract the numbers that were expected.

Watching, this game, one could not but be impressed by the Club inability of Lee Wai-tong to get going. He was well marked by Beltrão and when he did evade this player he found Gosano on the top of him, with the result that he could not get many shots at goal. To add to his discomfiture he also found Rowlands, in goal, in the best of form.

HERE is a fairly big programme of five First Division League football matches down for decision to-day, and by far the most interesting will be the return clash between South China "B"] and the Fusiliers at Caroline Hill, while the Re- creio entertain the Navy at King's Park in another match which should also produce a stern struggle.

South China "B" will be fielding a very strong side, and, playing at home, are likely to avenge their defeat of last week, when they went down by the only goal of the match, scored by Hughes in the second half. With Talbot playing up to form, the Chinese defenders will probably be given an anxious time.
The Navy are making several changes, Tippetts reappearing
on the left-wing, while McLeod will be seen at inside-right. With the Recreio anxious to wipe out the memory of last week's debacle (they supplied most of the players for the Portugal team) a keen encounter should result.
