At present Eastern stands a chill he of anishing up second, but they still have several tough games to play beaten them in the First Round and against teams who have either given them a good game....

Eastern have still to meet Kowloon, Middlesex, Royal Scots and Club. Of them, while Royal Scots gave them a these teams Club and Kowloon beat hard fight.

Kowloon are still in the running but, with the exception of South China "A," they have still to meet all the Chinese teams.

Royal Scots and South China "B" still have an outside chance but have still to play Eastern and Kowloon.

Following are the remaining matches of each of the main clubs:

Eastern:-Kowloon (H), Middlesex -(A), Royal Scots (A) and Club (H).··· South China. "" (A), Saint Joseph's (H) Kowloon:-Kwong Wah (H), Eastern (A), and Royal Scots (H and A).

South China "g" to play Kowloon, Middle sex, Saint Joseph's (H and A), Navy (H) and South Chind "A"

Police have a big obstacle, in Crai- gengower, before them but, like I.R.C., should win their remaining match, against R.A.F.

The position then is this; if Recreio beat I.R.C. they can afford to draw their remaining match with Army and, at worst, ensure a play-off with Police, provided the latter.. win must also beat Civil Service to be safe. matches. If I.R.C. beat Recreio they both their

A draw between these two teams and a win for Recreio in their last match, and two. Police wins would place I.R.C. out of the running and Recreio and Police would have to play-off.

It is all very complicated; there are so many alternatives. I will give you the outstanding matches and you may then work it out for yourselves if in- terested.
