JUNIOR FOOTBALL LEAGUE PROGRAMME

KOWLOON'S TASK AGAINST THE KWONG WAH

STRENGTHENED BY VALE

(By UBIQUE”) The outstanding game in to- day's Second Division League soccer programme will be that between the Kowloon Football Club and the Kwong Wah, on the former's ground, as the other games should result in

easy wins for the home teams.

CIVILIAN TEAM MUST AVERT

A SECOND DEFEAT

EASTERN ENTERTAIN SOUTH CHINA "A" TO-MORROW

(By “OUTSIDE LEFT”)

FTER a week's interval from First Division League Football, this week- end's programme should provide followers of the sport with several interesting games, outstanding among which are to-day's return clash between Kowloon and the Seaforths, and to-morrow's clash between East- ern and South China “A”

Kowloon playing at home this afternoon should provide the Seaforths with a formidable task of trying to repeat their earlier success when they won the first encounter at Sookumpoo by two clear goals. Since the fate of that match, however, Kowloon have improved beyond recognition and it will come as a very big surprise if they fail to secure both points.

EASTERN'S CHALLENGE

the Eastern, who have come to Ifore among Chinese teams because of their thrust and bustling tactics, should find South China "A" more than a handful and a thrilling and fast game is anticipated here. South China "A" are fielding a very strong attack including Tso Kwai-shing, on the right-wing, while Lee Kwok-wai makes his return to their left-half berth, these changes considerably strengthening their chances.

In the remaining game to-morrow, St. Joseph's are expected to easily overcome Kowloon Chinese.
