League Programme Resumes

THE INTERPORT

Shield Matches and the Gate Money

[By "Rover"]

A full League programme with three 1st Division matches at Hong Kong and two at Kowloon, and the leading clubs running a neck and neck race in both divisions, is down for to-morrow as follows:-

Hong Kong League, Division I-kick-off 4.15 p.m. -

THE

The fight for the championship in the first Division is very keen, South China is still leading with Queen's and Athletic holding good records. Polico also are in the running and although Navy have a very outside chance of getting in the first four their good form lately points to many upsets in the League table before the end of the season.

Jottings

With the announcement of the Shanghai Interport Team visit- ing Hong Kong, also the probable constitution of the Hong Kong Interport XI, the Interport match is now the big sporting event of the Soccer world. With only an- other week to go, chances in the Hong Kong XI are not probable, unless weather conditions neces-

The Club and Athletic match at the Valley should produce a good afternoon's sport, but the Club will miss Goldman very much, business exigencies compelling the return of this popular and clever player to Shanghai. The Club's chief sting in attack will be missing, but they should make the Athletic go all the way in a hard match, although the Athletic should get the points.

At Sookumpoo, Small Units, unless the unexpected happens, should provide Police with two more points, as the Police are strengthening their team and Howarth and Pile will both be available in the near future, if not on Saturday.

The other match at Hong Kong is at Caroline Hill, where Kow- loon are the visitors. The Rail- way team has been showing steady form since the early part of the season, and should give South China a very hard game. South China are finding the re-

About 1,400 troops returning from foreign service just missed, spending their Christmas in their homes, says the "Daily Mail" 27. The transport of Dec.

South China won the last match at Kowloon rather easily, playing brilliant football, but they show lately a slight falling off, and un- less they can get their old-time confidence back, Kowloon may spring a surprise. Chances, how- ever, favour the Home-side and if they can produce their best form they should secure full points.
