REVIEWED

(By PIVOT)

Will the Police be able to auke off that "inferiority com- plex" when playing against a Chinese team, or can they? This question has been on the lips of many an ardent soccer fan for will be provided in the Senior the last week and the answer Shield final clash to-morrow when the Police will be given the stif-" fest task in their soccer fights up-to-date, when they play S. China "A".

True, the, Chinese have bee playing but mediocre football of late, but that in itself is no criterion of the shield finalist's form. Take last week for instance, After having been defeat- up and ed by the Club to the tune of Ave goals to nil they turned round to inflict a meritorious defeat on the Navy in the Lai Wah Cup Final. The display they then gave was anything from that of the previous day.

To-morrow S. China will be playing with the full team, it fact they will be very much strengthened by the return of Täm has been lifted. Kong Pak whose suspension of two months

Wong Mei Shun too is dropped, so that Lau Hing Choi will take over Leung Wing. Chiu's berth who is being given the pivotal same and position S. China's forward line "will remain the

from the looks of things the Police vanguard will be given a very stiff task in keeping a check on the nippy Chinese boys,

SHIELD GAMES SHOULD BE

THRILLING

Police I am sure knows what they are up against, and if they intend to have their name 'eiched op the shield for the second time, they will have to produce a form these which from far different they had shown before, both in the league and the shield. They must play the same type of foot- ball as the Chinese to-morrow by and running them of their feet

xellie not to give them time to down to any methodical play. The whole brunt of the game will, I Lelleve devo ve upon the defente where Gough n the centre half berth will have his hands full in looking after Lee Wal Tong and forwards. But inside is clever lie has one consolation, and that is, he has two capable men or his des in the persons of North and Parker both of whom can be re- iled upon to give him the fullest In fact he has, another suppori.

Wo stalwarts behind him and es both Pile and Blackburn are on top of their form at the monjent the Chinese will have to be pretty good to pass this line of defence. McHardy in goal needs a lot of beating.

Much will depend on the for- ward line to garner goals for them. Moss returns to the ef. *wing berth in which case Green will be dropped. Can the Folice inside men be depended upon to shoot? When I Hay shoot I mean to get the ball past the Chinese goal keeper and not to kick it over or Police straight to his hands. shooting has been known to be de- plorable but to-morrow they must forget the past endeavours and concentrate on one thing to get goals-- und ID get it quick. 3tevens, Johnson and Brooks, will have to be on their toes all the time and as far as T File is con- cerned he can be depended upon to centre his charges across with the proper precision and accuracy. THE JUNIOR GAME

Is it coincidence or tate that it Is left once again to wo military Leams to fight it out again in the Junior Shield final and at that with the same teams of last season. Great things are expected from the E. Lancs-Royal Engineers game and a little information which I had the good fortune to pick up spells danger to the E. Lancs. team. I understand on good authority taking no that the Bappers are chances in this game, in fact the whole seam was placed under the management at Lt. Hamilton for the whole week and this manager has seen to it that that team kepl strict hours and keep in perfect Lrim,

These two teams had a full dress rehearsal last week and the Bap- pers came out on" top. It was the same last year when the Sappers played a great game to win the Shield. This year they have ac- quired a great goal-getter in the person of, Howlet d. This player prior to coming out East captained the English School Boys' team and was so impressive with his Alsplay that he was signed on by Chelsea on a month's probation. However when he developed into a useful player the Army called him out

East and what is Chelsea's loss is the Sappers' gain out here.

This man has been the mainstay of the Sappers in the forward line and with him playing on top of form the Lancs. will be having a great time, in keeping check on the Sappers. This does not mean to 2y that the Sappers are conceded the better chance of winning the game. In fact the odds are very even and come what may I believe 1 this game will be just as exciting and Erling as the senior encoun- ex. A great game is in store for soccer fan4.

THE LEAGUE GAMES

나

The league games this week wil be of secondary importance com- pared to the Shield finals. Most of the games will turn out as expect- ed.

Club should beat the Recreis who will be playing without the services of the Gosanu brothers. Club fresh after their sensational de- feat of S. China "A" last week are fielding out the same team, with

What should prove to be an even and keen encounter will be seen at the Caroline Hill when the Athletic entertains the Navy. The sailors are such an unreliable lot that it is hard to forecast on their form. 1, have said more than once that as a team they are deplorable but when it comes to individual play they excel. A team without cam- bination and understanding is no team at all and provided they can overcome this defect to-day they should give the Athletic a good game who incidentally are felding ou the same team as last week.

8. China "B" appears to be Buf- fering from lack of their regular players. Both Leung In Chan and and Yu Hing Yuen are reported an the "crippled" list and as far as is certain they are undeckled what team to line up. On the other hand the soldiers are playing bet- ter football these days and it will not come as a surprise to me if they do give S. China trouncing.

M. Drysdale and J. Tavares did not have such an easy time against W. P. Lucy and R. A. B. Philmore, though they won by two straight sets. Opposition was offered for every point.

Because of their final shield en- counter I believe S. China "A" will not be flelding their regular team against Kowloon, in which case the reserves will be called up. For one thing Lee Wal Tong' will de- game. be watching the finitely Kowloon's chances of inflicting a defeat on S. China "A" are there-H. fore brighter than ever.
