RECORDS EXPECTED TO CRASH AT TO-MORROW'S SOCCER TIE First Meeting Of Season Between Eastern & Sing Tao Eastern's Wing Forwards SOCCER H.K. LADIES
May Well Decide Issue
By. "Referee"
ANOTHER ATTENDANCE RECORD AND ANOTHER GATE RECEIPT RECORD-IN VIEW OF THE INCREASED PRICES ARE EXPECTED AT THE MUCH-AWAITED FIRST DIVISION FOOTBALL GAME TO-MORROW AT CAROLINE HILL BETWEEN EASTERN, SHIELD HOLDERS, AND SING TAO, WHO ARE NÓW AT THE TOP OF THE LEAGUE TABLE WITH A LEAD OF ONLY ONE POINT.
The first round game was not played as East- ern, in the first match of the season, were not able to field a team, several of their players being then with Sing Tao and only being transferred later.
Eastern forfeited the points and to-morrow's game has been cager- ly awaited by the Chinese root- ball public, particularly the Shanghai sec.ion.
Bearing On League
The result of this match will have a very important bearing on the League Championship. Both South teams have still to meet China, who are at present on an equal footing with Eastern,
teams at full With both strength the match should be worth watching and the result should be a close phe.
Sing Tao have definately, the bete. ae.ence and Cheong Wing choy in goal is at present in a class by mmself and tar ahead of Lau Hin-hon of Eastern. Lee Tin-tang and Hau Yung-sang are a better pair of backs than Ng Ke-cheong and Kong Sing-king. Ng Ke-cheong is, however, a good back and he has a decided asset with his heading, which has viten JeLeveu a dangerous situation.
Hsu Outstanding Half
Eastern's intermediate-line is slightly better than Sing Tao's, Hsu King-serig the pivot being outstanding.

The above comments are based on the assumption that Sing Tao will field their best team. It is hoped that there is no truth in the rumour that they have been badly hit by injuries and may field a junior team.

This marks the first oc casion that a. club donated its--League-gate-res ceipts to charity.
Kwong Wah, with an entire Chinese team, should beat Club. It may seem strange but Kwong Wah has always done better with their Portuguese players out of the team. The Chinese boys then seem to combine better,
