The Gunners will have to go all out to meet the Navy and from the looks of things the Navy will be just a shade better than the Ar- tillery men

The College. boys will have to be up and about if they intend and to hold "Gosano and Co.," though they have been vastly rein- forced by the inclusion of several new players, I doubt whether they will stand the strain, as evidenced In their game against the Gunners last week. I should think Recreio will secure both points.

E Lancs are down against the Fusiliers. A hard game will result in the & Lanes coming out on top:

Another interesting game on the card is that between Lincolns and China Athletic. Same fast and interesting football should be seen at Sookunpoo and if the Chinese are able to call on their players from Canton, Lincolns defence will have to be absolutely on their feet to check the nippy forwards. Lin. coins will give them a good run for the points;

Probably the most outstanding. change brought about at the Meet- Ing was the adoption of the dis- banded. Cycling. Chub's designation "The Hong Kong Cycling Club." This step was taken on the ground that the title "Wheelers” (the old English name for cyclists) was not sufficiently descriptive, and wis unknown to many riders of other nationalities.

They have a well balanced side -the best for many a long day-- with plenty of dash in the threes. and with McGlichrist at the top of his form hacked up-by Bradford, should Cumming, Miller, etc... secure full points:

The Navy have more merr avail- able with more ships in port, but they have the same handicap to contend with as the Army, the lack of opportunity of playing to- gether as a team and this may be reflected in to-day's match.

The Navy will, however; given their opponents a run for their money, and the Club will have to be on their toes all the time and keep their best legs forward to come away with the bacon.
