WEEK-END
SOCCER PROGRAMME
Following is the soccer
BIG MATCH IN TO-DAY'S cricket programme will be between Kowloon Cricket Club and Craigengramme for the week-end: gower Cricket Club, the result of which may well decide the Junior Championship, although Recreio supporters will probably disagree with this.
On paper the teams are remarkably well-bal- anced but, having regard to the fact that Craigen- gower's attack is slightly more formidable, the Val- ley side would appear to have a slight edge,
Kowloon will be at full strength, Following is the programme Rapley being back again after a and some of the teams:- game in the Arsts last week, and It is interesting to note that W. W. Parsons, who must be the most
elderly League cricketer in the Colony at the moment, has dis- placed young Burch. Parsons is a very useful bowler and a not un- successful bat so this move thould add strength to the team.
I fancy that Madar and Bax- ter, who took part in the record first-wicket stand last week. will find the Craigengower bow. ling far less to their liking than they did the University's, but there are good batsmen to fol- low them if they do not again distinguish themselves.

EASTERN'S CHANCE OF
FIRST CHAMPIONSHIP
By "Referee"
CAROLINE HILL should be erowded to capacity this afternoon in spite of the greatly increased prices when Eastern meet South China in First Division of · the Football League in a game which will probably · decide the championship.
On the first meeting of these to be postponed this week-end teams the result was a two-all owing to the preliminary Round draw, though South China, missed of the Junior Shield. In this a penalty in the closing minutes competition the best game should of the game.
be that at Sookunpoo, where Mid- dlesex meet Service Corps. Both teams are equally balanced and there should not be much differ- ence in the final result.
A win for Eastern this afternoon will virtually give them the cham- pionship for the first time in their history; a loss of one point will necessitate a play-off with Sing Tao and a defeat would mean that South China and Sing Tao would play off for title.
Engineers, present leaders of Second Division, should have lit- the difficulty against Kowloon, al- though they have been forced to field several reserves.
