LAURELS

HE outstanding feature of this week-end's League Football pro- gramme is the return of the champions, South Chins "A" who will encounter the unbeaten Royal Navy team on Sunday, while South China "B" make their debut against the Fusiliers to-morrow.

The Club forward line will be strengthened by the return of Ernie Strange, while numer ous other changes are noticeable, particularly among the senior teams The Navy, who gave a splendid performance against the Army last Sunday, have, however, made only one change in the team to meet the champions.

With the exception of the three big clashes mentioned above, the rest of the First Divi sion games are more or less one-sided affairs, while in the Junior Division the Navy v. Re- creio, and the East Lanes v Athletic, clashes, should provide the best fare. In the Third Division the Chinese Police and the Fusiliers will be seen in a titanic struggle to-morrow..
