LINCOLNS TRY OUT NEW LEADER

AND BLISS RETURNS TO KOWLOON

(By "Rover")

THE BIGGEST ATTRACTION ON TO - MOR- ROW'S SOCCER LEAGUE CARD WILL BE THE CLASH BETWEEN ST. JOSEPH'S AND SOUTH CHINA "B," TWO VERY OLD RI- VALS WHO WILL GIVE NO QUARTER IN THE STRUGGLE FOR HONOURS.

The Saints have clearly demonstrated that they possess a sound defence by holding out the formidable Navy forward line last Sunday, but are still on the look-out for a sharpshooter to lead the forwards: The Chinese team, on the other hand, are by no means discouraged at their early setback, and are fielding the same team.

Sunday will see the young Recreio team again battle without the assistance of their star men, A. V. Gosano and N. Beltrao, both of whom are still nursing injuries. The weight of responsi- bility will again fall on the shoulders of "Bertie" Gosano at cen- tre-half. The Borderers, however, are too strong a proposition and the Recs. can only hope for a draw.
