THE WEEK-END PROGRAMME

The leaders are expected to im- prove their position at the head of affairs when they encounter the Navy at Chatham Road to-morrow. The latter are considerably weak- -oned owing to the departure, of several vessels recently, but can be depended upon to produce formidable opposition. Unless we are treated to yet another of this season's "shocks." I expect Bouth China "A" to romp home against the lowly Police XI at Caroline XIII. Fusiliers have no engage- ment this week-end and enjoy a well earned rest, their next fixture being against the Seaforths on Wednesday at Bookrumpoo.

INTERPORT SELECTORS BUSY

MOORE'S DEBUT

I recently expressed the likelf- hood of Moore, the ex-Belfast Celt. rendering his services to the Club. He made his first appearance for them on Saturday last at inside right and notched a smart goal. Moore "will prove a decided ausset to the Club as his vast experience of the game will be invaluable. In his younger days Sammy was con- sidered one of the best half backs In Irish football, being once chosen as first reserve in one of Ireland's International sides which opposed Bootland at Windsor Park.

The Interport Selectors have have a chance to avenge their Pearson's Error Helps

their work cut out this season as regards the selecting of the Colony Interport XI, which is due to meet the strength of Shanghai, as, the talent ất thếir disposal is quite plentiful. However the abundant array of talent is a good sign and indicates that the standard of football is progressing. I fore- cast the following will be included in the Interpórt team-Beitrao and Gosano (AV) of Recreio; Row" lands (Fusillers) Lee War Tong Tso Kwai-shing, and Leung Wing- chlu (Bouth China) "Leonard ̧ (8%.

Joseph's): Others whose selection are doubtful at the time of writing,

and whose inclusion depend on the forthcoming trial games are, in my opinion-Stevens and Ervin (Res) and Britton of Police.

NAVÝ TRIEBS

I visited Sockumpoo on Sunday last to witness the Kotewall Cup same between South China and Navy and like many others came away rather disappointed. The standard of play never rose above thể ordinary, the only bright spot in a scrappy game being the brii- lant shooting of Lee Wal-tong. Although winning, South China sadly disappointed, the whole team, with a few exceptions, in my opinion being badly our Even the redoubtable Lee Wal- tong, seemed at a loss sometimes. The weakoned Navy XI. proved triers to a man, but never looked like scoting during any period of the game and they were very fortunate in meeting the Chinese
