SEAFORTHS
AND RIFLES MEET TO DAY
SCOTS FAVOURED TO WIN
S. CHINA “DERBY” ENCOUNTER
Five First Division League foot- ball matches will be featured in to- day's programme, and the "tit-bit” is undoubtedly the clash between the Seaforth Highlanders and the Rifles: the present leaders, who are not conceded a chance of winning to-day.
The Scots, with their very thrust- ful attack and fine intermediate line, should hold their own against the bustling tactics of their Irish opponents and it is more than pro- bable that Ferguson, who has given the Rifles several excellent. snap goals, will find the Seaforth defence too much for him.
Irwin has-returned to soccer after a brief illness, but there is very little danger of anything emanating from this wing as Cooke is an excellent Scottish wing-half, and likely to prove too strong for the small Rifle-winger.
