TO-DAY'S FOOTBALL. WEEK-END SPORTS
ATTRACTIVE PROGRAMME OF SHIELD MATCHES.
NAVY AND SOUTH CHINA
IN THE FRAY.
Longue football matters will be relegated to the background to-day. when the teams in the Shield Cam- petition take the field to decide the right to enter the semi-find draw. The Club ground and Caroline Hill, which will be the venue of the more important thatches, will attract large gates to watch the junior and xenior contents. The Chinese: crowd, it may be assumed, will gather at Caroline Hill where the South China terms, will be engaged. - Extra time will be ployed in all
matches if necessary,
Sentor Matches.
AL Happy Valley, there will be , much speculation as to the outrome of the meeting between the Hong Kong F.C. and Kowloon. The latter have a sequence of successes in the Lengur, the two Chinese teams and Cub included, and they will be fancied as the semi-finalists.
The Navy meet South Ching at Caroline Hill. At the Stadium re- cently, the Navy gave a poor dis- play against South China in their League match. The Chinese have since then gone down to Kowloon, but in more spacious surroundings they will, it is hoped, gain the de cision over the sailors.

Interest yesterday centred in the Open Doubles, in which three of the favourite pairs took part. Handu -and Abiyama, the Japanese hopes, emerged successful against Wong and Troi, who, although putting up a plucky game, failed to extend their opponents.
Redmond and Ride, one of the strongest. British pairs competing, also won CX- peeted, finding little difficulty in eliminating Railton and Burnett. They now meet Honda and Abi- yama when a good teat should be seen. Another favourite pair, Kong 19.00 and W. T. Leg, on whom the Chi- nese are placing sono confidence, also succeeded in entering the next round, beating Ema' and Hayano in straight sets.
