players in the Junior Shield Semi-final Round clash against the Engineers, the holders, to-morrow, have First Division experience and a grand encounter is anticipated.

Teams from the German cruiser Karlsruhe, which paid a 10 days" visit to the Colony recently, and the Canton Dentscher Klub, who met-in a soccer match on the Kowloon Football Club ground last Sunday re salting in an easy win for the cruiser by 6 goals to 1. E. Amman, the hero of the match and Canton's goalkeeper, is on the extreme right of the front row. (“China Mail" photo).

The Liga will depend mainly on their fast forwards to pull them through. H. Souzae will lead the attack and will have the Santos brothers on his left. These three have been the most consistent goal-scorers in this team this season. C. Santos, a young footballer, will play at inside-right, while E. Lawrence, 33RD DIVISION former Recreio First Division half, will be on the right wing.

R. Riberio, recently transferred from St. Joseph's, will! occupy the pivot berth. This player is very short and slightly His lack of built, but is very wiry and fast in his movements. height will be a great handicap against Howlett, Darby and First, the Sapper inside-forwards.

The Club, in spite of their inconsistent form, are favourites for to-morrow's clash and, in view of their excellent win over the Rifles, they should win by a comfortable margin.

The Club are fielding the same team as last week, with Robertson at right-half and Farrow in the pivotal berth. Skinner has at last settled down to the left-half position, and he should do well here against the Police right-wing, which will be weaken ed by the absence of Tommy Pile, who is nursing an injured ankle.
