THE HARBIN TRAGEDY,
CHINESE HORRIBLE EXAMPLE"
SUGGESTIONS.--
The Titanks receive the B.G.A. on the Navy ground and a hard and fast game should take place. A draw is a probable result.
R.G.A. meet the United on St. Joseph's ground and although the latter have been playing good football lately it is expect ed that they will go under to their heavier opponents in this game
A good game should be seen at 800- Reserves with the Reserves collecting the kuopos between the Staffs and Kowloćn points. The Military team play good individual football but fail at combina- tion.
The Indian Becreation Club are ex- pected to beat the Punjabis but Emerson coming in to assist the latter team, a close game is expected.
