THILE the Hong Kong Football Association are busy with arrangements in connection with the forthcoming Interport, the Hong Kong Chinese Amateur Athletic Federation have also been busy and have held several meetings with a view to reviving the All-China Soccer series, and at a meeting held yesterday it was decided that Eastern China should be invited to send a team to Hong Kong to meet a South China team.

These games were very popular with Chinese followers of soccer in Hong Kong, and in 1931 no less that 8,000 attended the game at Caroline Hill, creating a record attendance which has not yet been bettered, not even in an Interport game!

The Eastern Chinese will arrive about the same time as the Shanghai Interporters and it has been arranged that they will play their official game at Caroline Hill on Friday, February 12. Un the following Wednesday arrangements are being made for them to meet either an Association team or the United Services.

NINE of the 13 players selected for the Inter-

As van Leeuwen can now make the trip, the Colony's three- quarter line will probably be selected shortly before the match, or soon after the arrival of the Hong Kong team in Shanghai

Nothing will be known of the H. E. Bank men until later, but it is hoped that A. H. R. Batcher, the Club vice-captain, who is in brilliant form at the moment, and K. A. Watson, who is their best goal-kicker, will be able to make the trip, in addition to Bradford, a very fine second-row forward. W. E. Peers, although he has not yet officially accepted, can secure leave, I am told, but there are several other positions in the pack yet to be filled.
