The Engineers put up rather a poor showing.

However, I suppose their idea is to let as many people An possible have a chance of play- ing and try and win the league.

Shanghai, February 10.-The Soc-] eer Interport selectors inust have viewod yesterday's tria! gamo at the Canidrome with very mixed feelings and ideas for the Probable side, as a team, were very much aibles, having but ben players for the whule of the first half, held their opponents to a goal, and, in- deed, had quite as much of the play. They were without an out- side-left, and, for some unknown reason, no reserve was available: roal trial, To make the game a the obvious course would have been to fill up the Possible side and play. the Probables with a man short, but, a matters turned out, it was perhaps as well that this was not done

The Possible side were made up to eleven after the interval by Torry Wilson going into goal, with Matthews in the outside-left posi- tion, but this really weakened the side, as the Probablog soon put on

three goals, which, in all probabil ity, they would not have scored had Matthews been in goal. This, of course, is no reflection on Terry, who showed that he is a real sports man, by offering to play in gonl La muddy ground in a perfectly good suit, which he later contrived to planter with mud.

An Outstanding Pair. The selection of the forward line for the Interport side will be made all the more difficult by the out- standing display of Bran and Murphy Taking into considera. tion their form in the game under review, they hath played them selves into the touring eleven, and they showed the only real football

of the game, some of their play be. ing really brilliant. The combina- tion of the Probabies, especially among the forwards, was weak in the extreme, and their shooting and play when near goal wero execr- able. Each of the wingers wha weak, and Sinclair, and Collaco apparently forgot that Widmore was also playing, the inside-left being stigved for B. great portion of the game, in the first half espo cially. The ground was glippery and a foothold hard to obtain, and, although this in part was come excuse for the poor football, the fact remains that hardly one of the Probable side played up to fa form. The teams lined up, un- der the control of Mr. A. Leslie,

as follows:

Probables-Chow, Munro, Mar tin,

Gash, Poto-Hunt,

Costa, Elliot, Collnco, Sinclair, Widmore, Guttieres.

Possibles Matthews, Fabian, Marcal, Taylor, Stokes, Hurry, Miller, Murphy, Brand, Coulcher.

The Probables pressed from the start, and Collaco oponed the scor ing after four minute, nesting with a great drive, which was the best of the match. Sinclair head ed just over from Elliott's pass, and Matthews had to save. twice in quick succession. Pote-Hunt was prominent with some good play and feinted very cleverly. The pressure was relieved and Murphy shot just over after a clover-eplo. dribble. The Possibles came again, and Coulcher was just too high with a good shot, from a great pass from Brand. The big handicap. of having only four forwards on the Possible side was very evident, and often good work by Murphy Brand, and Coulchor came to naught because of this. Pote Hunt, not having a winger to watch, was a good as an extra forward to his side, and also is able to drop back to assist his backmanın zo ́s

Pote-Hunt had to kick out for a corner to keep Brand from get ting possession. The Probables ex- crted strong pressUTO and Pote Hunt was only just wide with a good drive. Murphy was again had no luck with his efforts, Munro saved a certain goal when he kick el clear off the goal line, after Murphy had dribbled himself into position and beaton Chow with his final shot, Matthews brought off saved and was kept fairly busy for Elliott hit the rest of the half. the bar with one of his centres, but the inside forwards were very work near goal, and not one of them got in a really good shot. Murphy missed a great chance when he shot wide after good work by Coulcher, and the interval arrived with the Proliables stil landing by a goal.

Widmore got Broond goal after eight minutes play, but his shot should not have scored, Torry attempting to use his feet instead of his hands. The Pre bables went further ahead in the hexs minute, Gash being the scorer, but the point was a very lucky ono. The ball hit the upright, and Wil- Bon made a gallant effort to save, diving full length in the mud, and the ball rebounded on to him an be lay on the ground and rolled gently into the net. The Probables kept up the pressure, but combina tion was lacking. Widmore added a fourth goal after fifteen minutes, notting from close in, with the goalie out of goal.

Matter of Luck,'

The Possibles fought back and only bad luck prevented them from scoring. Coulchor missed an open goal after great work by Brand, Chow saving from close range, but he should not have been given the chance to do so. Murphy got in a rast drive in the next minute, Chow again saving very well. The Probabies defence wore often at sea, and they had several lucky escapes. Brand again sont Coul gher right through, but he pulled his shot across the goalmouth. The Possibles kept up the pressure for quite ten minutes, but were unable to reduce the arrears. Taylor and Hurry each sen over and Brand did the same when, ho should have scored, following a mistake by Chow, who again dropped the ball after arving.
