ST. JOSEPH'S MAY MAKE CHANGES TO-DAY
AGAINST THE BORDERERS
TEAM NOT YET
DECIDED
24TH AT FULL STRENGTH
(By "Veritus").
It is rather a pity that St. Joseph's have matters such as protests, ineligible players, lost points, possible replays, etc., on their mind to-day just at the time they are due to engage in the most important league match of the season.
1 expect they will be able to dismiss such apparent triviali- ties, but I would have preferred that this afternoon's encounter with the Borderers be an all-or- nothing sort of thing. A grand and glorious finish to the sea- son, maskee the result.

WHAT THE PROTEST IS ABOUT.
POLICE PLAYER SAID TO
BE UNREGISTERED.
St. Joseph's are protesting ngsinst their match with the Police, which ended in a draw last Saturday, on the grounds that Rose, the Police centre-forward. As an unregistered player at the time.
The complaint will come befure the committee on Friday of this week, and if the case is proved, precedence will probably be follawesi, and replay ordered.
The suggestion made in some quarters that St. Joseph's will drop the protest if they win this afternoon cannot hold good, an rules provide that only in excep- tiona? circumstances, kan # protest be withdrawn.

St. Joseph's will be played TEAM
on the Kowloon F.C. ground, kicking-off at 5 o'clock. Originally the fix- ture was a home game for the Borderers, but the Soo- kunpad arena is occupied.
Defeat for the Borderers will practically end their hopes of the championship. If St. Joseph's are beaten, they will rely on the result of their protest against the ineligibility of one of the Police players, in the hopes that a replay will be order- ed, which would thus give, them the opportunity of regaining points.
