A strong defence, but a little doubtful forward, may be taken as summing up the Shanghai Interport team, announced as follows:
Frearson (Vindictive); Hathaway (Coldstreama); Palmer (S.R.C.);
Potc-Hunt (S.F.C.),
Gash (Police) captain,"
Costa (P.S.A.);
Baxter (S.F.C.)
Collaco (P.S.A.) Goldman (S.F.C.)
Lee Wai-tong (Loh Hwa)
Geo (Beds, and Herts.)
