FINE GAME
ASSURED
(By "Veritas"), To-morrow is New Year's Day, and whether or not the break of dawn is attended by a thick head and the desire for much ice, football supporters are asked to remember that in the afternoon a first class entertainment is offered. them on the Club ground when teams representing the Mainland and the Island meet in their annual fixture to awell the Children's ---Playground Fund.
This match, in fact, promises to be just the antidote needed for New Year's Eve aftermaths, and with the weather so finely settled. there is every reason to hope for a capacity crowd at His are splendidly
The teams
represen- tative and well matched. If there is one criticism it is that. Talbot of the Fuxillors is being wrongly used at inside left for the Island. Morton of the Artillery has tlie pivotal position which should be Talbot's and it is e puzzle why Talbot was ever selected for any other place.
Fusiliers, Navy, Club, St. Joseph's, South China, Royal Artillery and Athlotic all have representation in the Island team, while 'Kowloon, Recreio, Police, East Lancashires and Lincolns supply players for the Mainland com- bination.
So far as is known at the time of writing the sides will turn out as advertised, and this will be Dick Ridley's last game in Hongkong before leaving with the Lincolns for India.
The following teams and reserves have been chosen.
ISLAND
Rowlands (Fusiliers): Mak Sui- hon (Athletic) and S. Strange Captain (Club); Leung Wing-chui (S. China), Morton (IL. A. Lyemun), and Lee Kwok-wa! (S. China); Baxter (Navy), Ward (St. Joseph's), Elliott (Club), Talbot (Fusiliers) and Dickford (Club).
Reserves: Lam Tak-po (8. China "", Lau Man (8. China); Cheuk Shek-kam (8. China "D"), Harrison (Fusiliera) and E. Strange (Club).
MAINLAND
Boyes (Kowloon); Bowen (Re- erelo) and C. He (Police); BIJA (Kowloon), Lawton (East Lancs.). and North (Police); T. 1 Pilo (Police), Sandford (East Lancs.), D. Knox (Kowloon), Ridley (Lincolns), and A. A. Alves (Recreio).
Reservers-Gomes (Recreio), G. White (Kowloon), Eastman (Kow- loon). 'Delgado (Recrcio) and White (Kowloon).
