April Manila Interport
MUCH MORE FORMIDABLE TEAM THAN LAST SHOULD BE SELECTED
(By "REFEREE")
TONG Kong Football Association have lost no time in making pre- Hong their forthcoming visit to the Philippa
pre-
next month, and from the fifteen players invited to make the trip should be able to field a very formidable team.
As far as I can see the probable Interport lineup, subject to the acceptance of all 15 players, will be: :
Tam Kwan-kon; Lee Tin-sang and Sheehan; Freshwater, Courtney and Leung Wing-chiu; Emberson, Fung King-cheong, Lee Wai-tong, A. V. Gosano, and Hunt.
None of the 15 selected players display at left-half in the match again. are able to state now whether or st Manila, will most probably be re- not they can make the trip, al-tained in this position, while Fresh- water, in view of his outstanding though it is almost certain that League success at right-half, is a likely Service members will be granted for this berth. The centre-half borth permission by their respective will require a sound but thrustful pivot
and in Courtney, probably one of the. units.
bost Service allrounders at the moment, I think we have the right-man.
INSPIRED GAME-S
ABSENTEES
Notable absentees from the 15 names and are Hau Ching-to, Honeywill
left-wing, Dixon, who played on the right-half and centre-half, respective- 3 100 46 50ly, against the Manila side last month. 7 85 43 39. Dixon and Honeywill, who are in 10 88 58 38
the Navy, are not likely to be available through ship movements, while Hau Ching-to has made way for Hunt, of the Navy, who is fairly reliable and who possesses a dangerous drive.
Freshwater and The inclusion of Courtney, of Middlesex, and Ember- son, of Ordnance Corps, is very signi- ficant as all three have performed consistently well recently and during the League casón.

DISCOVERED BY ACCIDENT
Emberson was a "discovery" by accident; but his performance for the Association in the final of the Go- vernor's Cup Competition earned him a place among the 15 selected play-
ers,
The Colony Selectors would be un- wise to break up that fine inside trio of Fung King-cheong, Lee Wai-tong and A. V. Gosano, but at the moment both Lee and “A.V.” are not certain whether they can obtain the necessary leave.
The inclusion of Lai Shiu-wing, an inside-left of considerable merit, is
It was probably his inspired game for Rest of the Colony against Mani- la which caught the selectors' eyes and resulted in Hau Yung-sang be- ing one of the 15 players invited to Manila. This Kwong Wah player, a firm believer in first time methods, was responsible to a great extent for breaking up Manila's dangerous left- wing partnership of Boisserie and Beech.
Hunt has played with much success on the left-wing for the Navy and is a reliable type of winger.
Much of the success of the Colony team will depend, however, on a sound team manager and I hope the Manage- ment Committee will give this part of the team their best attention.

The 15 selected players are: Tam Kwan-kon (S. China "B"); Lee Tin- sang, Leung Wing-chiu, Fung King. cheong, Lee Wal-tong, Lai Shiu- wing (8. China "A"); Sheehan, Freshwater and Courtney (Middle. sex), Emberson (Ordnance Corps), Hunt and Ridley (Royal Navy), E. Strange (Club), Hau Yung-sang (Kwong Wah) and A. V. Gosano (St. Joseph's).
