LEADING SOCCER TEAMS TO BE WELL TESTED
S. CHINA, FUSILIERS & RIFLES TO FACE STIFF OPPOSITION
“VERITAS” REVIEWS
PROSPECTS
COMPETITION in the football league is becoming in- tensified, and it is now possible to make a fairly good forecast as to the teams most likely to be in "at the kill" next spring. So far South China "A", South China "B" and the Ulster Rifles have proved themselves to be the best three teams in the first division, though none of them boast very much edge over the Club, Fusiliers, Kowloon Chinese, and St. Joseph's.
The week-end should go a long way towards clearing up a few doubts as to the relative strength of these teams. Rifles have to meet Eastern and this is going to be a big hurdle to negotiate, for the now first division team is playing a good brand of soccer at the present time.
Fusiliers have an even more important engagement.
They are
up against St. Joseph's who are capable of upsetting anybody. South Chin "A" cannot expect a cake-walk on Sunday against the Athletic, while Club will have to be on top form to overcome Kow- Fann on their own ground.
Police, still without Blackburn, and also minus Tommy Pile, can hardly be expected to survive against the Navy, but I wouldn't be at all surprised to see Kowloon Chinese give Enst Lancs, a hiding.
It's pretty good fare for the week-end, and anybody interested in football should be able to find plenty of entertainment at the varinus grounds.
Eastern Are Very Satisfied
FACE BIG TASK WITH SAME TEAM
Eastern are very satisfied in- deed with last week's perform- ance, and the team which won
sa hantlaomoly against the Police will be on view to-day against the Rifles.
But the proportion is somewhak different and Eastern will have to be very good to withstand the powerful!
lilary team.
However, if they touch peak form! there is no reason why they should not at least earn a draw, though there are odds against this,
But having found a winning team, Mutern have wisely decided to stick to $1,

Tung Chung-wan, George Ng Ying-kay and Loi Bing-chol: Young and Cheung Kwok-chay: Chan Plag-to, Cheng Sul-heng. Sung Ling-ning. Chan Yue-tin and M. Habhan. Reserves:--Lee Bing- Long, Chan Yun-tat and Tang Yat-

In the Senior Division on Saturday last there was one sur- prise. I will not say that no one had thought of the Navy being defeated, but their complete collapse before a not very strong bowling side had hardly been anticipated.
T. A. Peares had a damaged finger by a beauty from Baker at 105, and and could not turn out but Holden the next ball sent back Ozorio. But started by getting rid of three people the Civil Service couki not push cheaply early on and there was a home their advantage and Power collapse.

DAY CRICKET MATCH
(By R. Abbit)
In the usual Armistice Day fixture between the Hongkong Cricket Club and the Kowloon Cricket Club on the ground of the former the visitors won a decisive victory.
The Club, who were without Alec Pearce, hnd T. E. Pearce playing for them and I, D. Didwell and L. Walch also. The last two are not of course
regular members of their eleven. They started hopelessly when they went to the wickets to face the bowl- ing of R. Lee and Garthwaite. The latter and Perry do not usually play for the K.C.C. except In the big Friendites. Duckitt was caught at the wicket off Lee and T. E Pearce skled one that he tried to hook off Garth- waite.
Neve was out at unce as
Wax Steward, and Owen Hughes after making 12 got inside one from Ler and was well caught in the gully. With 20 on the board for 5 wickets lunch was Loken. Afterwards lay- ware and Kilbee seemed to be pulling ware the game round and both played very well. The score was taken to 70, when
Kilbee ficked at an off-ball from Lee and was ensity caught af second slip.
Bidwell followed and the batsman seemed about to settle down again though the new comer was obviously shaky at the start from lack of prac- and tice. Twenly runs were put on and things were looking up for the Club. when Goodwin, who had relieved Garthwaite, sent down #

Any hope of an exclling finish which

Fincher, who looked set for his nifty this time, mistimed one from Brines who had gone on at the Yard end, and was caught at forward short leg. Garthwaite was out to a ball which was right outside his fugs but pitched in a hole and broke in hit- iing the back of his bat and then oing on to the wicket. However, Perry and Lee hit oft the runs and Kowloon won by five wickets.
side The collapse of the Club before tiffin was very unexpected but they are not a very strong side this year and miss Alee Penree. They are lucky to have T. E. Pearce back again. He seems to be in quite good form, even though. he did not stop long, and looks younger than ever.
