INTERPORT PROSPECTS

Comment On the Week's Games

[By "Roamer"] Can we reasonably expect our In- torport Soccer Eleven to return from Shanghai with the Cup? Much as it goes against the grain I am afraid our chances are very remote. In the first place these encounters have established tradition that calls for

a super team to break, and secondly can we produce such a team this season to overcome their opponents and bring about a change? Since the

n

resumption in 1923, of this annual com- petition Hong Kong's three visits have all resulted in failures (1924 beaten 1-0 after 3-3

draw; toat 5-4 in 1926; and severely thrashed in 1928 to the tune of 7-0), The H.K.F.A. Council, when finally selecting their eleven have a very tricky task before them, especially as the rules of the competition pre- clude players who are members of crews of seagoing ships. The eleron representatives have not yet been definitely chosen but it is understood that from the fifteen now noted the final selections will

be made.

The Recreio versus Ewo encounter was very evenly contested, the former continuing their series of draws, and Ewo are still without their first victory.

The second International Foot- ball match for the "Sunday Herald" Cup was played yester day at Happy Valley before a large crowd of spectators, the Scotland. The teams lined out aa contestants being England and

Scotland: G. Rodger; McGregor and Gardner; Gear, McKelvie and Torrio; Alexander, Gilchrist, Toal, Dr. Valentine and Craig.

Referee: Cpl. Evans, R.M.

England in Dificulties The toss of the coin was in favour of the Thistles, and Eng- land fought the first half of the battle with the sun against them. A short while after the kick-off, Alexander took the ball down to the wing, who shot into Jarvis' hand. The ball was sent back to Craig, who centred beautifully to Dr. Valentine.

Making no mistake this time, the doctor sent the ball straight into the net with a cross shot, thus drawing first blood for Scot- land,
