POSSIBILITY OF GOSANO LEADING THE FORWARDS POTENTIAL LEAGUE CHAMPIONS ON VIEW TO-DAY

(By: "ROVEN"")

THE outstanding feature of this week-end's soc- cer programme is the Second Round Govern- or's Cup clash between the Hong Kong Football Association, the holders, and the Chinese Amateur Athletic Federation, which takes place at Caroline Hill to-morrow commencing at 4 p.m.

As announced in yesterday's editions of the China Mail, Rod- ger will be a definite absentee, while Howe, the Club leader, is an- other player who is unable to play.

It is quite likely that A. V. Gosano will be moved up to All the centre-forward vacancy, and Swain, the reserve back brought into the full-back berth.___.
