HOLIDAY FOOTBALL ATTRACTIONS: THREE BIG GAMES

CRICKET AT ITS BEST

BAT & BALL IN KEEN DUELS

PEREIRA'S FINE PERFORMANCE

CLUB COLLAPSE

(By "The Stumper")

IN my notes last week, I pro-

dieted a good game between the Kowloon C. C. and the Hong- kong C.C. at King'a Park, but it turned out to be more exciting than I thought, I must confess that I did not think a decision could have been reached, but the fact that the Club's batting col- lapsed enabled the Peninsula. team to notch three more points, which makes up considerably for their lapso against the Navỷ the week before..

the Y.M.C.A. entertain friende from the Services to Christmas Tiiu and in the afternoon will play them at hockey. This prac- tice has been in existence for a number of years and has always proved an outstanding success, and a good game is anticipated. The Y.M.C.A. have not yet selected their team for the trip to Macao, on January 8th. They have Buf- fered the temporary loss of their centre-forward and prolific goal scorer, W. J. Brown, who sustain- ed an injury to his collar-bone In a recent match and will be unable to play for at least a fortnight. It is not certain whether he will be able to make the trip to Macao, and if he cannot the "Y" forward Hne will be considerably weakened.
