In addition, Wong Shiu-wah, who will be best recalled in the days of the Athletic's triumphs and who was reckoned as one of the best pivots then will also be seen.

take their time in front of goal

South China, who are still in the running for the • Championship, are fielding a strong team against the Middlesex, but will be without the services of Choo Siew-ling, who has the been promoted goalkeeper to "A" team.

The game between the Club and Kowloon should also be interesting. The latter will probably be with- out Jeffreys, who is needed for Rowlands' place in goal, in the first team, as the latter is still suffer- ing from an injured ankle sustain ed last week.

Milne, will be seen at inside right for the Club with G. Duncan on the right wing Millington will be at centre-half, but he would do much better if he swung the ball to both his wingers instead of concen- trating on the left. In the last game Duncan was starved for the whole of the second-half!

CONCLUDING STAGES

The Third division has now reached the concluding stages and after to-day's games, there remain but a few postponed matches to be played off and these have already been re-arranged so that the Lea- gue should be completed by the end of the month.

In the Kowloon Section, the Portuguese Sporting Association have already won the section title, and the result of their game against the Kumaons will, therefore, have no effect on the League table as far as they are concerned.
