(By "Veritas").
This is the season, we are reminded, when it is "better to give than to receive." I don't know how local footballers are going to work out this precept, but I suggest that perhaps the first five teams in the first division get together and agree to lose their matches this afternoon! This sounds fantastic, yet actually they could afford to do it and nobody's position would be affected.
South China, the Lincolns, St. Joseph's Borderers and Navy are all playing teams who cannot seriously jeopardise their championship chances. If such an un- likely thing as all five teams lesing should happen it would make comparatively little difference to the championship
race.

Desmond llynes has been shifted up to the half back line, and Hill sent to the rearguard to partner Strange. Dominy returns to the inside right position. Even this Is a good line-up. I will be perfectly at home and Ilynes is so fond of playing well up the field when at back, thut he should not feel unduly out of place among the
intermediates. Dominy has now had sufficient experience with the Club to pull his weight in the forward line.
