Sixteen Fourth Round FA Cup Ties Today
By ARCHIE QUICK
Another stage of the FA Cup competition today, with the playing of the 16 Fourth Round ties, is notable for the complete absence of non- League clubs. There are 12, First Division sides, 14 from the Second Division, five from the Third Division North and only one Northampton-from the Southern Section. How heavily the draw tipped the scales in favour of the big clubs is shown by the fact that only four Division One teams and six from the "Second have to travel, while only one Third Division team-York-are- at home!
League softball takes a back seat during the weekend, as once again the Colony's softball fans extend a warm welcome to the Yu Shan Ladies' team from Taiwan. The contingent, comprising five officials and 14 players, arrived last week for a three-games series against the best Hongkong has to offer and spectators are in for an exhibition by the visitors of how softball for the fairer sex should and can be played. Today at 3.30 p.m. Yu Shan take on the All-Hongkong Selection in the opening game. Tomorrow they are engaged in a double-header when at 11.80 a.m. they cross bats with the European Selection and at 8.30 p.m. they bring the series to an end when they come up against the against Portsmouth Combined Chinese girls.
To accommodate the visitors the two Senior games for tomor- row have been postponed, but activiting in the Men's Junior League and the Ladies' League continua unabated, so the hard- to-please fans thould have no grounds for complaints since there will be a total of seven games to choose from.
