WEEK-END FOOTBALL

Club Pitted Against S. China "B"

(BY "PIVOT")

are

Several interesting ties which will have a bearing on the on ylew trend of form for the Semi final senior shield to-day when a fuli programme of League football is scheduled for the week end.

The most notable item is the match between the Club and S. China "B" which should prove to be a good object lesson for Club in measuring their own capability in their replay in the Shield' against the Senior League lenders.

Chinese, unless" a pens.

miracle "hap-

A game that is worth going a long way to see is that between the two Army teams, Lincolns and E. Lancs.

Gunners, the play against Chinese will have their hands full in checking Howe & Co. On the other hand if the Club's defence can reproduce the form they showed a week a.go. the nippy Chinese forward line will have to work out a new line of attack. The game should prove to be fast to say that E. Lancs are not cap and exciting with the odds slight-able of turning the tables on their Ly in favour of the Chinese.

Navy's Chances

Navy are playing against Kow- loon on the latter's ground. They bave improved greatly of late but that cannot, be taken as a criter- ion of their form.

They are so

unreliable so to speak, that any- thing and everything is liable to happen.. Kowloon are not so very the Impressive themselves, and Navy, with the advantage of hav- ing found a team that is well able to give of their best against any team will no doubt give Kowloon a good run for the points and will just about make it. H

Récrelo by their brilliant win over the Police last week will en- ter the field against the Gunners with confidence and I don't blame them. With one of the fastest and forward 'lines in local soccer a defence that is good against all comers I shouldn't see why they should not be able to garner both points. The Gunners have been playing in patches now and again and, unless they cari got

some cohesion in their team they will come off second best.
