GAMES TO-DAY
CLUB: MEET EASTERN
With only a fortnight before the start of the local League ball season, most clubs will be engaged in friendly games to-day with the object of getting their sides together.
The Club will meet Eastern at home and are making several changes from the team which drew with the Royal Scots, last week, while the latter, after the shock they received from Kwong Wah, are experimenting with their defence and are playing Lée Tackee at right-back.
Kowloon, who are making a tate start, entertain Kwong Wah and a good game should be witnessed here, though the line up of the Kowloon team is not yet definite.
Middlesex journey to Caroline Hill for their game against South China "B" and, in spite of the fact the latter will be at full

strength, should win.
