THE SHANGA! ELEVEN,

This year's Association Inter- port should prove to be the most evenly contested of the series for .many years. A glance at pasti results since 1924 reveals that thei visiting port has never succeeded] in winning on foreign soil. Hong Kong, in 1924, held Shanghai to a draw, three all, but lost the re play by the only goal scored. Again in 1926 Hong Kong went very close, losing by the odd goal in five. Therefore, if only living up to tradition, we should win this afternoon.

Shanghai devotees of Soccer are fairly confident that, their selected cleven will return with the local flag. They have clever, determined team

We were unfortunate in losing the services of Bynon of the South Wales Borderers who sustained an injury in a regimental match prior to the last trial game. Ho would have been a tower of strength at centre -half. Lam Yuk-ying is a trifle on the small side for that exacting position, but his clever constructive und destructive play and tireless energy will make up for his lack of inches. Our defence is strong and, coupled with our fast and sharp shooting forwards, should prove equal to the task of dispos ing of the Northern eleven.
