"Symons, on the form that I know, is not as good as Cash, and although, Suan Kam-shun is still a fine marksman, he is very much slower than when in Hong- kong. On the other hand, Shanghai have a remarkably fast winger in S. H. Van, and Favacho is an obvious choice for outside right."

and sixteen players have been invited to make the trip! to Hongkong for the Interport football match on Saturday week. Although only a quar- ter of them are known to the Colony in general, one can feel that Shanghai is going to field a powerful combination; a' team which will not only uphold the fair name of the northern port as a place where footballers are made, as well as born, but will make the Hongkong boys play the game of their lives to win.

after some startling changes in the final trial match played last Sunday. Ward, for instance, did not play in the first trial, and was selected only as reserve last week. Smeaton, necording to the Shangkat Times, seemed a certainty as goal- keoper, And
presumably, cause, other than possible loss of form, has kept him out of the team. J. Shute of the Police and Li Ning of Tunghwa are generally regarded as Shanghal's best possible defence. Robbed of the services of Stanley Gash (how we shall miss him in Hongkong), the selectors did not havo much cause to worry about his successor, Symons being more or less hand-made for the job.

As I See It- By "Veritas"
INTRICATE FORWARD-LINE QUESTIONS
THERE will be general disappoint-
ment in the Colony, and more particularly among the Chinese, if our. old friend Suen Kam-ahun does not play in the Interport. Judging by reports, however, I think he is fairly safe for a position in the for ward line. He is (or used to be) one of those facile footballers who could roam from ualde left to centre-forward and then to inside right, and still play immaculate football. The Shanghai Tintes aug- gests that either Collaco or Tai will but operate at centre-forward. Collneo played inside right in the trials, and it is possible that the final selection for leader of the attuck will rest between Suen and Tai. Tai has undoubtedly shown splendid form right through the season, and will probably be finally chosen. That is why I believe Suen will find his proper place, which is inside left, nlthough this will probably mean the exclu- sion of Boisserie. S. H. Van in another Tunghwn-ite, and there- fore fairly certain to play on the laft wing.
THE PROBABLE TEAM
IVEN freedom from injuries and other extraneous circum- stances, I should imagine the fol- lowing will do nervice for Shanghai on Monday weck: W. Ward (A.S.F.); J., Shute (Police), and Li Ning (Tungwha); C. Remedios (A.S.F.), A. Symons (Reca.) and H. P. Madar (Rres); R. Favacho (A.S.F.), H. Collaco (Lusitano); L. K. Tai (Tunghwa), Suen Kam- ahun (Three Cultures) and S. H. Van (Tunghwa).

Although announced as a trial to select an Army team, and the match graced with the presence of two selectors, it was impossible to discover yesterday what the real idea was behind the game played at Chatham Road.
