The Club are likely to be further handicapped, in that F. Fowler, their right-winger, is uncertain whether he can obtain leave, and, if absent, will cause a serious gap in the Club aftack. Very fast on the ball, he is a deadly shot and one of the greatest opportunists in local soccer.

A. Rumjahn and T. Yoshioka, and the doubles encounter between the Japa- nese pair and the Rumjahn cousins.
