SENIOR PÈNNANT RACE Big Soccer
Chung Hwa To Meet V.R.C. In Important Junior Game
BY R.O.Y.
ALTHOUGH THE USUAL PROGRAMME OF SEX MATCUES WILL BE PLAYED TOMORROW AT THE KOWLOON FOOTBALL CLUB, five of the games will only serve as preliminaries to the Recreio "Accs-St. Joseph's clash which will be the main attraction for local
fans who are expected to turn out in full force for this treat.
The card commences with the Cardinals taking the field against the Canuckettes at 9 a.m. The Redbirds despite an early season much success against the Wahoos, do not appear to have made headway during recent weeks and cannot be expected to trouble the Canuckettes who have yet to drop a decision. While they are sure to run into difficulties when they clash with the Wahoos or Wildcats, the Canadian Chinese lassies should be much too strong for Dave Walker's Redbird aggregation.

In the second game, the Baby and they should be plenty good Panthers should make short work enough to take the Filipinos who, of the Chung Hwn rookies who apart from a good win over the will be extremely fortunate if they Canucks, have had a lean time. manage to garner a point this
