week-end and the holidays;
South China and Eastern are both showing Championship form, but the same cannot be said of the Sing Tao. Their last minute win last week against St. and Charity football fixtures for the Joseph's was not representative, for had the Josephians been a bit more enterprising, they would at least have shared the points.

In their match against the Navy to-day, I am of the opinion that they will be able to share the spoils with the Senior Service, as both teams are about of equal standard, although, individually, the sailors are much better. But without the team work, China they are lost.
