H.K.F.A. TO MEET C.A.A.F. SIDE AT CAROLINE HILL
MANY NEWCOMERS WILL BE SEEN
(By "OUTSIDE LEFT”)
THE Christmas Holidays which are upon us now have resulted in the natural cutting down of all sports programmes for to-morrow-Christmas Day-as it is quite probable that very few will be in a fit condition to stand on their feet following to- night's celebrations.
The Hong Kong Football Association and the Hong Kong Chinese Amateur Athletic Federation, however, in an endeavour to raise funds for the much needed relief in the Shanghai and North China area, have put their heads together and the result is that we will have one football encounter to-morrow between teams repre- senting these two bodies.

VICTORY
Navy's Success Against The Army
Triangular Tourney
Navy fulfilled their promise dis- played in recent matches and drew first blood in the annual Triangu- lar Cricket Tournament at the expense of the Army, whom they beat by nine wickets.

The clash will take place at Caroline Hill commencing at 3.30 p.m. and will of 90 minutes dura- tion, while it is also possible that prior to this match. Chinese sereen beauties will give an ex- hibition of football as played by Chinese women. This alone should be worth witnessing.
The Association and Federation will be fielding very strong teams and it is worthy of note that several newcomers will be seen in a repre- sentative match for the first time, among these being one or two junior stars.

The Association side, however, is comprised of some very useful ta lent and with the exception of the fali-back division, which I consider will not be able to stand up to the Chinese attack, the team is fairly sound one.
SHOULD WIN
The Chinese Federation will be fielding practically the same team! which defeated the Association in the First Round of the Governor's. Cup competition and they should win to-morrow's encounter al- though they will be hard pressed from start to finish.
