THE CHINA MAUL, SATURDAY, JANUARY 18, 1955.
WHY IMPOSSIBLE IN HONGKONG?
Junior Teams Should Be
Given A Chance To
Upset The "Giants”
Says 1. M. MacTAVISH
The once mighty Arsenal, Birmingham City, Luton Town, Aston Villa and Blackpool are all out of the FA Cup.. 'The Cup being what it is, there is little unusual in, the big, names, making an early exit from the competition .......except that in this case those five clubs share the doubtful distinction of having been beaten and eliminated by clubs from the lower divisions of the League.
The same thing has happened in France where the holders of the Cup have been beaten by an almost unknown team from a little country village and in varying degrees the same sort of thing happens in many parts of the football world except, of course, in Hong- kong.

TODAY'S RUGBY
Only One Major Game This Afternoon -RAF v. Navy
By "PAK LO”
This afternoon the. Police are holding their Annual Sports, and as a result the game between them and the Club has been postponed until January 22 when it will be played off on the Club grourid under the. floodlights at 6.30 p.m.
This leaves one major game still scheduled and that is between the BAF and the Navy, which will take place on the Navy ground at Causeway Bay at 4.15 p.m.
Two other games are scheduled, both of them "friendlies". On the Racecourse ground at Happy Valley the Club "B" will clash with the 49th Field at 1.30 p.m., while on the other side of the harbour at the Army ground at Boun dary Street the East Lancashire Regiment, whose abilities are unknown, will play HMS Nowcastle at 3.30. p.m. The greater interest for most rugby fans will therefore be at Causeway Bay.
