Second Division games which will attract attention are those in which Eastern, the Navy, and Borderers are engaged. Eastern play away at Kowloon and, on their conquering form, are good value for the pointa. The Bordorers are meting the Argylls for the first time, their predecessors (Somersets) having 10.44 sharod the points in the earlier meeting. This will be a stiff battle with the result probably a draw ar the Argylis boating the nowowners for the remaining point. The Navy should not have much difficulty in taking full points from the un- nera. The University had a con- vincing violory last week and are likely to lower South China's
