Stiff Proposition For South China Saints
Royal Navy May Provide Set-back To-morrow: Saints' Improvement
(By "SCRAMBLER")
WITH THE DEFEAT OF SING TAO in the shield by the lowly placed Saint Joseph's, the former team is now practically out of football competition, and they must await another season to make amends, unless either South China or Eastern make a slip between now and the final game. South China have, however, a stiff hurdle to overcome on Sunday when they are boing entertained by the Senior service; conquerors of Royal Scots in the Shield.

Saints Improved THE SAINTS should be able to

The Saints' defence are playing] right at the top of form. Guy is.a decided asset, and Leonard belog his right hand man, they have a middle trio that is hard to beat, with Castilho making a welcome return. Hussain and Bowen are a pair of hefty backs, clearing and tackling well.
In the forward line, Flanders is
good on the extreme left, and Mac- Donald appears to have found his form at Inst. They have all struck up an understanding, and it will inke more than just Kwong Wah's defence to stop them.
Kwong Wah have lost touch in
their forward line, where hesitancy to shoot eest them the match against Eastern. Even Cheuk Shek-kam, their most dangerous forward, was at fault. Unless they can change their mode of play, and unless their defence can help also in the attack, I am afraid they will not be able to
