MAK SUI-HON SECURES A PLACE
LEE WILL LEAD ATTACK
(By "Veritas")
MAK Sui-hon is the only non-South China Athletic Association player appearing in the Chinese team to meet the Navy for the Lai Wah Cup on Sunday according to the selections made known to me to-day. And he is playing out of position, namely left back instead of right back.
Except for him the Chinese eleven will be composed of South China "A" league team players, with the half back line and attack in toto.
It is a fine team and one hesitates to contemplate their defeat by the Navy, even though recognising that the nauticals, if true to form, can play football second to none in the Colony.
The Chinese big pull is that Lee Wai- tong is leading the forwards. It is quite

New Interest In Mamak League
THANKS TO POLICE ACHIEVEMENT
The defeat last Sunday of the Kowloon Indian Tennis Club by the Police has created an entirely new interest in this season's Mamak hockey tour nament. It revealed that the reigning champions are vulner- able, and that given purposeful opposition they can be besten. Although I hinted in my notes last week that the Kowloon Indians would probably suffer defeat before the and of the season, I was frankly taken by surprise when the Police accomplish- ed the feat. But it was a thoroughly deserved success, even though, after scoring the all-vital goal twelve minutes from the initial bully-o, tho winners were generally on the defon- Rive.
