COMMENCING HALF AN HOUR EARLIER THAN OWING TO THE SHORTENING HOURS OF DAYLIGHT, the usual programme of six matches will be staged at the Kowloon Football Club ground tomorrow. Main item on the card will be the meeting of the Recreio Aces and St. Joseph's at 1.30 pm, when a huge crowd is expected to be on hand to witness this clash that should rival last season's bitter fracas between the Aces and the Ball Club, for whom the St. Joseph's gang was then playing.
