PORTUGAL'S BIG TASK
(By "Veritas") -
There are two reasons why the football matches to- morrow and on Boxing Day should attract bumper "gates". The chief is that the proceeds are for charity, and the other because they are holiday games of no little importance. They are the semi-finals of the Sun- day Herald International Charity Cup, and if, from this distance, the Christmas Day encounter does not promise quite the attraction of the Boxing Day match, there is no reason to believe that the first named will not afford a first rate holiday entertainment. To-morrow China plays Scot-

The match took place at the Cani- drome, and was attended. by an enthusiastic crowd. Portugal won by ton goals to two, but the victory was no surprise as the side was known to be much stronger than the Fronch eleven-Wah Ki Yat Po.

VICKS VA-TRO-NOL
Fusillers league team, Coakley, Evans and Roberts will have an interesting time trying to pierce a very sound defence. Portugal -also promise to be well served by the half back line which is led by Beltrao, who has Delgado and Jimmy Elms on his flanks.
On the other hand Bernie Gosano and Co., will find plenty of opposition in Wheeler, Keating and Rowlands.
Talbot's recent performances, have placed him among the outstanding centre-halves in local football, his creative work being especially good. Taking a general view the teams will be, very well matched and the result may well be in doubt up to the last kick.
This game will be played on the Navy ground at Causeway Bay, kick- ing off at 3.30.
