Sunday's Matches Should Be
The Best This Week
Tomorrow's matches at the Navy Ground and Sookunpoo seem to offer the most attractive First Division games for this week-end. The Navy are ever an unknown quantity in senior soccer circles and may repeat their success in their last meeting with KMB,
At Sookunpoo, the Army, no longer concerned with preserving an unbeaten record, will find St. Joseph's still flushed with last week-end's dramalle victory over Chinese Athletic, The Saints expect to be strengthened by a new gont-keeper,

Last Week's Games
By "SPECTATOR”
YOUTHFUL KHALSA SQUAD
MAKES THE
GRADE
The outstanding result in last week's League lis was achieved by the new, young Khalsa team. They yanked runners-up Madcaps down with a 6-3 beating after a close fight. The Madcappers were fancied by not a few for this year's flag. Showing poorly in their initial encounter with VRC, when they took a severe drubbing, the Khalsas, by their triumph, have returned to the fore.
It was an almost totally different Recreio squad from that of last season which took the licki on Sunday against Canadians, and lost. Former hústling members ·Leo Tavares, Wilfred Lawrence, Leo Vieira, Joe Franco and Charlie Quinn have apparently shied from the company of the now big-name Ree contingent. The old-timer Gosano brothers. Eddie. Bertie and Lino. Spotty Pereira and Tony Alves are in the side. Last season's Gerry Gosano ant Dickie Alves are the only remaining hustlers. Avichi Yvanovich and Arthur Nery did not play ball for a while but now are back.
It is a fairly safe assertion that last Sunday's "needle”. leage game, between the star- studded South Ching "A" team and Kowloon Motor Buses, was watched by the greatest number of spectators to witness
any football match in Hongkong.
There were thousands inside the 1 Carele Hill stadium mi almost. as many ut the various vantage points overlooking the ground.
