H.K. FOOTBALL HISTORY WILL
INDIAN ARMY XI PLAYS
HERE FOR THE FIRST TIME
(By "Verilns")
SHIELD and league ties constitute the Colony football programme for the week-end and provide an excep- tionally promising entertainment. There is only one Senior Shield match-Eastern v. St. Joseph's, which will be played this afternoon-but three Junior Shield engage- ments are on tap, the most interesting of which is the debut of the Kumaon Rifles against Kowloon Chinese.
I believe I am right in saying that history will be made to-day when the Kumaons take the field, marking as it will, the first appearance in local competitive foot- ball of an Indian military team.
L
The Kumaons come here with an impressive record. They are reputed to be very fast, tricky and possessing stamina above the average. They are assured of a first-class test in their initial appearance, and it will be of more than passing interest to see how they shapo against the nippy Chinese.
South China "A" have an important week-end before them. This afternoon they meet the Club at Caroline Hill, and to-morrow are away to the Police both not engagements which the champions will have to take seriously.
To-morrow's first division programme is notable for other important clashes. Royal Ulster Rifles have to oppose the Navy at Causeway Bay and South China "B" are to have their unbeaten record threatened by Kowloon Chinese: I, for one, will not be one bit surprised to see South China's colours lowered for the first time this season.
One of the most speculative of the Junior Shield matches is that between Liga Portuguesa and the Royal Ister Rifles, in the third division Liga are second with 13 points from eight games,Į while Ulster Rifles are placed fourth in the second division with The Riles will start slight 13 paints from nine encounters, favourites, but they are by no means safe for a win.
It is doubtful whether Recreio can withstand the Royal Artil- lery eleven from Lyemun, while I rather think the fact that Kumaon Eiles will be playing under strange conditions will adversely affect them against Kowloon Chinese
