St. Joseph's, who occupy the bot- tom berth in the First Division table, are fielding a very much strengthened team to-day against, Club, conquerors of Middlesex last week, and, unless I am very much mistaken, will leave the field win-

THEIR COMEBACK

The Traffic Department have arranged "one way traffic” to Soo- kunpoo during the "Sunday Herald" International Charity Cup game between Scotland and China, on Tuesday.

Entrance will only be via the wide entrance near the Po Leung- kuk and the exit through Caroline Hill Road.

Humour And History

Preparations for the Christmas Charity fancy dress comic football match are now completed and, given fair weather, the large crowd that is expected to attend should enjoy a very enjoyable game.

The Chinese side is composed of players whose names were famous in football circles many years ago.

The European side will be skip- pered by H. Pelham, R. E. who re- cently played in an Army Trial Game, and his attire as a rough-rid- ing cowboy is expected to daunt the valour of the opposition.

Probably the only player taking part in present day football is the well known Lee Wai-tong, but other inclusion of F. A. Fowler, at centre-Yuk-ying, Wong Shiu-wa, Tso Kwai- names include Wong Ki-leung, Lam forward, otherwise their team re- mains unchanged from last week.
