TWO SURPRISES FEATURE COLONY FOOTBALL SELECTIONS
(By "Referee")
THE final selection of the Colony Interport football team to meet Shanghai at Causeway Bay on Thursday, February 11, has provided two sensations Wilson at inside-left instead of Talbot, and Leung Wing-chiu at left-half in place of Wride or Beltrao.
On his display yesterday Wilson was not worth a trial; let alone In- terport honours, while Leung, who has deteriorated badly since his return from the Berlin Games, appears to have received recognition on reputa- tion alone.
Pau Ka-ping, Lee Tin-sang, A. V. Gosano, Campbell, Evans, Yeung Shui-yick, Fung. King- cheong, Lee Wai-tong and Bick- ford all deserve their places, al-
Talbot's

though I am very much sur-Interport football team- prised at
omission from the inside-left berth in view of his extraordinarily fine display yesterday. David Leo- nard, also deserved recognition, as a reserve if not as a member of the team, as he completely outshone Knox, whose inclusion as a reserve is surprising.
LEUNG WING-CHIU (S.C. “A”) M. CAMPBELL (Rifles)

A. WILSON (Club) B. L. BICKFORD (CInb)
Beltrao's ommission from the In- terport team is a big blow to many soccer fans in the Colony, and I readily believe," as others do, that his play was every bit as useful as Campbell's yesterday and that. he, like Wride, would probably be Reserves:- just as useful at right-half as Leung Wing-chiu.
Mr. "Jock McKelvie, a former Interport soccer captain, and one of the best all-rounders the Kowloon Football Chib has ever had, is the Interport team manager.
