ATHLETIC V. ST. JOSEPH'S- LEAGUE MATCH TO-DAY
(By "Varitza")
Apart from one first division and one second divi. sion match and the Kotewall Cup encounter the week- end is a general holiday for local footballers; which is a curious position at this stage of the season when it is rather vital for as many games as possible to be played in view of the likely congestion of fixtures at the end of next month.

YOUNGSTERS GIVEN CHANCE
South China have gone out of their way to give both first divi- slon teams fair representation in this match so that we find one half back and four forwards from the "B" eleven playing with six "A" team performers.
The suspension of Li Tin-sang suggested a little problem, but it has been overcome by sending Tam
Kong-pak to the rearguard to partner Lau Mau. With Loc Kwok-wai still on the injuréd list Henry Young is given his chance.,

Two Suggestions For The Football Association

Nothing more appropriate to present conditions in Hongkong football could have been written than the article by John Bell in the London Morning Past concerning the mandate of the English Football Association to referees, which was published in these columns a few weeks ago. In the article which is re- printed below Mr. Bell puts forward two very sound suggestions which the Hongkong Football Association might adopt with profit.
