A fine game should be seen at Sookunpoo between the military teams in the League. and although on recent form it should be an easy win for the King's, the R.G.A. is expected to give them a hard game. On the adjoining ground, the two sub- marine depot ships will do battle and the Titania should win.

The Police are at home to the Tamar on the South China ground and they will take the field without McWalter. It is not expected that they will beat the Tamar, but on account of their showing against Kowloon last week they will take the field in confidence of at least sharing the points. Probably the sailors will be without Hudson in this match, owing to an injury receiv ed in the trial game at Kowloon last evening.

The Diomede and Despatch are due out on the St. Joseph's ground, the latter being admitted to the League in place of the Submarines, The Despatch has been showing good form up North in summer football and is expected to win this match.

In the junior game, the Club Reserves visit Kowloon by Ar- rangement and the home team should take the points. The King's meet the University at Sookunpoo and should win. On the South China ground, the Sacred Heart are due to meet the Filipinos and the former are ex- pected to win.
