A full league programme of soccer fixtures in which all three senior Chinese teams will be seen in action is scheduled for to- day culminating with the Navy-Chinese Civilians match in the Lai Wah Cup Final at Sookunpes to-morrow.

The Police are a redoubtable lot especially since they have entered the last stage of the shield. They have a good defence also but the same cannot be said of their for- wards. With McHardy as safe as ever in goal and Christ Pile and Blackburn, in front of him their ⚫defence is second to none in the Colony. Their intermediate line is their backbone.

The game will develope into a game in which the defences of both sides will be tried exhaustively. The inability of the soldiers to nake, good the chances in front of goal may prove their downfall.

The Hong Kong Football Club

are

making several

positional elianges in their team in their match against the league leaders. L Strange wil be brought to play at left half with Wilson playing the berth vacated by Strange and Alee Pearce playing inside right. Drown will be entrusted with the leadership.

These changes should benefit Club to a certain extent and it all depends whether they will be able to-penetrate the solid defence of the Chinese. As for their own de- fence I have my doubts as to their ability to keep a check on the nippy Chinese forwards. Rodger in goal is safe, enough and backed up by Hill and Strange should pre-" sent a somewhat solid problem to the Chinese., But their inter- mediata line is not safe at all. Farrow is not the type of a pivot to stop the Chinese and though flanked by Skinner and E. Strange they will have their hands full in trying to police the Chinese for- wards. S. China. should win.
