GOOD FOOTBALL EXPECTED IN
CHINESE TEAM IMPRESSIVE
ASSOCIATION DEFENCE HAS DIFFICULT TASK
(By "Abo").
Main football attraction over the week-end is the Governor's Cup match between the Hongkong Football Association and the Hongkong Chinese Amateur Athletic Federation. The game has been arranged to be played at Sookunpoo to-day, commencing at 4 p.m.
Two strong teams have been tunities and was able to turn only aclected for the match, the Chinese two to account. His second goal was line-up being particularly Impresa peach, but this could not obliterate sive, possessing as it does a fine de- fence as well as a nippy forward Ilne. Personally, I think they are good enough to win, in spite of the excelicnt form now being displayed by Rowlands, who will be in the F.A. goal.
Mak Siu-on and Li Tin-sang are playing very well at the moment, and with them in front of him. Wong Wing should have comparn- Leung Wing-ch, tively little to do, Soong Ling-sing and Lou King-chot make up a formidable intermediale Fine, and should also be of great as afglunce to the forwards. Tso Kwal shing and Huu Ching-to are speedy wingers, but they will be even letter which
to forsake the they decide fancy sta. The three Inside men are Lee Tack-kec, Fung King-cheong and Lal Shu-wing, each one of whom not only possenses fine ball control but also a deadly shot.
PILE NOT STEADY
Rowlands needs only to produce the form that he displayed in the Armistice Day match to be assured that goal-scoring will be low no malter how good the Chintod for wards are. However, Webster will have to Improve on Thursday's ex- hibition before any great faith con be placed with the F.A. team. Chris Pilo is not as steady as he used to be, but he has the stuff in him all right and it probably needs a inaich of this importance to draw the best
' out of him.

McCusker recently made a good Job of shadowing Fung King-cheonst, and it is possible that he will attain the
measure of success this afternoon; but he will have to play much better than he did on Thirs day against the "Real" before he can be really effective. Williamson and Parker are playing well at the mo- ment and should have an even tussle with the Chinese wingers.

Tippett showed line opportunism against the "Test", but was not given any chance to settle down owing to the polished defence of L Tin-sang. This afternoon, he will not have the attentions of Li, but in Mak Siu-hon, he ins another buck who is almost as good as Li.
