ONLY CHANCE
As it is now, however, the only available chance of a knock up will be on Friday, the day of the Inter- port. Obviously, Shanghai are hard- ly likely to welcome the suggestion that they hold their only practice a few hours before the very gruel- ling test they are certain to have! in the Interport match, and it is ob- vious that they will not want to play this game without a chance of losing their "sea-legs."
The two Possible goalkeepers and right-wings will each play for one half of the game.
