St. Joseph's are at home to South China "A" at Causeway Bay, while this PROMISING afternoon, on the Chatham Road ground, the Kowloon and Hong Kong SEAFORTHS MEET Football Clubs will be featured in a "Civilian Derby." South China "B" and the Seaforths should also provide good entertainment at Caroline Hill to-day, where I fear the Scots will probably sustain their first defeat of the season.

This team should give a much better dis-pressive debut in the Second play than last week and, on respective merits, should beat the Club for their first victory.

GOOD TUSSLE

A good tussle should be witness- ed between the Seaforths and the 5th A.A. Brigade R.A., which is com- posed of the Lyemun team. - The latter will have the services of Mac- Krill, Bedford and Bloor, of last year's eleven but these players will be leaving by the first Troopship.

The Royal Corps of Signallers did well in their first game against the Air Force during the week, and should secure their first wm against 20th Battery, Royal Artillery.

"KUMAON'S ADVANTAGE The University and Kumaon Rifles game should be very even, with the Kumaons having an advantage over the undergraduates in team work and combination.
