Replay For Governor's Cup
Fine Game Promised At Caroline Hill To-morrow
Another Test Of Defence
(By "SCRAMBLER”)
STILL ANOTHER GRAND soccer game is in store for fans to-morrow at Carolino Hill, when the Association and the Chinese Federation stage their re-play for the Governor's Cup, by virtue of the drawn game played last week; each side al- roady claiming one victory.
If the football last week is any criterion of standard, then to-morrow's game should be worth going a long way to see.
The proceeds of this game are to augment the Bomber Fund, and for Chinese War Charities.
As was to be expected; it was only ed with this work, there should be the Association's last line of defence an improvement in this department. that paved their way to share the game, for without the soild pair, Roughley and Fraser, and the ex- cellent work of Banier in goal, they would have assuredly gone under.
The Chinese were very well served in their attack, and if only the above three players were not in the form they were, a different result would have been the outcome.
So far as advertised, the same line up will once again be seen in action, although the Chinese two inside men have switched places. The Assocla- tion will, they hope, be strengthened by, the return of Freshwater and Bright, who, on account of duties last week, were prevented from playing.
With their Intermediate Ilae brought to full strength, the As- sociation will be taking the field with confidence, and Lee Wal-long will have to be on his toes to lead his men to victory, for with the exception of the Kotowall Cup, the Shield and the League, which were won by South China, ropre- sentative Chinese teams have not fanctioned so well this season,
The Chinese are depending on. the old brigade to do service, and Hau King-sing's Job of policing the wily Howlett is no sincouro. Boong Ling-xing will have his hands full in keeping track of the fast and speedy Fowler, and Lau Hing-choy Was none too steady
last week against Ricrisen. Unleas the wing halves are able to master the respectiva wingers, they will find that the Association's attack capable of blg doings.
