HOLIDAY FOOTBALL ATTRACTIONS: THREE BIG GAMES
CRICKET AT ITS BEST
BAT & BALL IN KEEN DUELS
PLREIRA'S FINE PERFORMANCE
CLUB COLLAPSE
(By "The Stumper”)
IN my notes last week, I pre-
dicted a good game between the Kowloon C. C. and the Hong- kong C.C. at King's Park, but it] turned out to be more exciting | than I thought. I must confess that I did not think a decision could have been reached, but the! fact that the Club's batting col- lapsed enabled the Peninsula) team to notch three more points, which makes up considerably for their lapse against the Navy the week before.

LAI WAH CUP.
For which Chinese and Navy meet 10-morrow
The holiday football fare is about as appetising as the most ardent epicurian could wish for. No less than four representatives matches are being staged over the week-end, includ- ing the Lai Wah Cup en- counter between the Chin- ese and Navy and two Sunday Herald Charity Cup ties, in which England; meet Wales and China contest Portugal.

This prac- tice has been in existence for a number of years and has always proved an outstanding auccess, and a good game is anticipated. The Y.31.C.A, have not yet selected their team for the trip to Macao, on January 8th. They have suf- fered the temporary loss of their centre-forward and prolific goal scorer, W. J. Brown, who sustola- ed an injury to his collar-bone In a recent match and will be unable to play for at least a fortnight. It is not certain whether he will
be able to make the trip to Macao, and if he cannot the "Y" forward line will be considerably weakened.
