Owing to the fact that the Volunteers are in camp this week- end, the League Football programme has been curtailed; two mat- ches in the First Division, scheduled to be played this afternoon, have been postponed and there have been several changes in the matches in the other divisions.
The two matches affected in the First Divuston are:
Kowloon
Club
Police

Kwong Wah The postponement of these two games mean that only two senior matches will be decided to-day. St. Joseph's, after their surprising des will fent by the Polite last week, meet the Itayal Scots, and Middlesex will play South China "B",

BEST GAME
In any case, the best match of the day will be seen at Sookunpon where the Middlesex will clash with South China "B". The Midda have already lowered the colours of Soulh China "A" and if they are at full strength, it would not airprise me at all if the champions of the 1937-38 season get beaten to-day.
