WHAT MATCHES WELL WORTH

WATCHING TO-DAY

(BY. “PIVOT")

Last week's shield games produced soccer of a high star!

The dard and many were the thrilling encounters fought closeness of the games can be gauged by the fact that of the five senior games played three ended in draws.

easy time against their compatriots, the Chinese Athletics, while last .. year's holder, S. Chios "B" was somewhat rodely shaken by the Lincolns, who but for their own poor shooting and the oxK=' cellent goalkeeping of Pau Ka Ping might well had beaten the Chinese.

East Lanes-Club, and St. Joseph's-Recreio matches ended on even terms, while a minor sensation was caused by the Kowloon teams which inflicted a one goal victory over the Fusillers.

With the Knoxes and V, White combined this should prove a severe thorn in the Recreio's defence. Barring unforeseen accidents a good game should result in an even share of the spoils.

TO-DAY'S FIXTURES

The keenly awaited, clash be- tween the S. China. "A" and the Fusiliers is on the card of to- morrow's games on the Caroline H. The Chinese team will be playing at full strength and that is to say the soldiers will have to be up and about to take stock of their surroundings.
