New Players For Sing Tao: Police Ranks Strengthened
(By "SCRAMBLER")
ALTHOUGH the official soccer season opens..on September 27, a series of Charity games will be staged in between now and the opening date in aid of local and war charities. Most teams in the Senior league have been preparing hard for the winter campaign, and the Chinese teams in particular are in fine fettle due to their tours during the off sedson.
"Rivalry and competition this forthcoming seaadi will be keener than ever, with the Chinese team going all out for supremacy. The civilians' Clubs do not appear to be in any state to offer a challenge, although from the Services, a good deal is expected.
