THE CHINA MAIL, JANUARY 6, 1940

Important Soccer Matches

SOUTH CHINA FACE BIG PROGRAMME

(By “REFEREE”)

Games which will have important bearing on all three divisions of Hong Kong Football League will be played this week-end, and, curiously enough, South China is figuring in all these games.

In First Division to-morrow, South China "A" meet Eastern on Club ground, while to-day South China and Eastern, leaders of the "A" section of Second Division, clash on Club ground. The third important game is on Sunday when International encoun- ter South China in the Third Division.

Another important game arranged | for to-day is the Gunners' "derby" at Stanley between 30th R.A. and 8th R.A. Both are high up in the League table.

For their First Division game South China "A" will be strengthened by the return of Lau Tau-man and Fung King-cheong, while Eastern will include Kong Bing-seng and Ng Kee-cheong in their line up.

LADIES' HOCKEY RESUMES

After a lull, due to the Christmas holidays, Ladies League hockey will restime in earnest this afternoon when | a full programme of matches will be played in both divisions.

IMPORTANT FACTOR

Gate receipts seem to play an important part in local football and the senior shield replay between Club and Royal Scots has been postponed so that the latter team may reap the benefit of their game with South China "B",

Club will now meet Kowloon and in view of the Improved form of the former team a good game should be seen, Kowloon will be without the services of Ulrich, who was injured last week and will probably be out of soccer for some time.

South China "B".

against Royal Scots, will be strengthened by the inclusion of Lee Shek-yau but are not expected to beat the soldiers.

At Boundary Street Police are at home to Middlesex and' if Sheehan returns to the team the "Diehards" should collect both points.

Alded by B. Gosano St. Joseph's may garner two much-needed points from Navy at Caroline Hill.

PROGRAMME

**y** Ladies meet Recreio but wit be without the services of Miss C. Minoot, their | 8t. Joseph goalkeeper, who is giving up the game, and Mrs. S. Gardner who has left on holiday for Japan. Mrs. Trimmer, full back of the Junior team, will be seen in goal and Miss V. Bradbury at inside left.

Hong Kong Ladies, who play their first League match at the Valley this season, will be represented by a strong side, which will include most of the mainstays of last season.. They are playing C.B.S.

LADIES' TENNIS SEMI-FINALS

The Colony Ladies' tennis championships are reaching the concluding stages and the two semi-finals in the singles event will be played this afternoon.

In both these games, tried and experienced players will meet comparative newcomers to local tournaments and even if they do not win this afternoon, the youthful hopetals will not fail for want of trying.

Surtar at 1 pm. Mn. Cali Chun-chu who last year won the doubles in partner- ship with Mrs. Williams, will meet Miss J. Reeve, a fast-developing player, and Mrs. Enid Litton, former champion, will meet Miss M. Stoker, of Kowloon Cricket Club,

Although they may be extended, there seems to be little doubt that the two C.R.C. players will enter the final.

The doubles semi-final will be played to:| morrow week

TO-MORROW

FIRST DIVISION

HAGEN'S

PLAY

By BEST BALL

It is doubtful' whether Walter Hagen could be catalogued as either a phlegmatic or nervous type of golfer. Undoubtedly most players belong in the later cate- gory and the stress of competition reacts either favourably or unfav- ourably on their play. If the pres- sure inspires their play, they are quite likely to score lower than usually. On the other hand, there are golfers whose game or temper- ament cannot stand the pressure and their scores show it. It might be said however that their swings are not fundamentally sound and the increased tension has magni- fled these faults.

While Hagen was hardly the nervous type (he had the capacity of remaining cool at all times) it is true that when the play was exciting he could rise to unbeliev able golf heights. Apparently no shot was too difficult for him to essay. An example is illustrated above. His ball was lying in heavy grass on the sheer side of a bunker, which incidentally also had a steep opposité bank. To add to the trouble the hole was near the edge of the other side so that a powerfully hit ball, which would clear the other side would sail far past the green. Hagen settled the situation and the hole by driving directly into the opposite bank and letting the ball bound up and over the top to a position near the cup. Monday, For More Distance

for

Waddington is at full-back in place of Bax, Drury has been replaced by Kennedy at wing threequarter, and Taylor and Gale are the wing forwards instead of Pearce and McCatin.

This game will decide who will hold the wooden-spoon, and if Navy reveal last Saturday's form Army look like "winning” it. Army are likely to be without Skipworth, who has again damaged his knee, and both May and Beddow may be absentees. .

At 2.40 p.m. Club meet Police and a good game is expected as Police, despite the fact Club are practically at full strength, are confident of not only extending Club but also of beating them.

Club are without Bidwell, Thomson and

of injuries,

and Heasman as the result Needham is unavailable. They will also miss Godfrey, who has been surprisingly passed, over.

I favour Club to win by at least 10 points -as, they are better equipped all round, but
