SCRAPPY GAME

LINCOLNS' STABILITY

CAN THEY

FOR GAME WITH ST. JOSEPH'S

THE PROSPECTS

(By "Veritas").

With a 100 per cent. record from three matches putting them firmly at the top of the table, there are not a few foot ball fans willing to back the Lincolns for senior league hon. ours this year.

Personally, I feel it is too pre- mature to form any convictions in this direction. Firatly the Lia- colns have to prove their stability, How often in the past have teams of the calibre of the Lincolns ahown amazingely good form nt! the start of the season and then fallen to pieces against sides whom they should have wiped up?

This, perhaps, is one of the most distinctive features of the Chinese and European teams in Hongkong. If South Chinn play a couple of really bad games in a senson the matter is serious enough to call. for concern among their supporters. With the European clubs, however, one looks in vain for any real. consistency of form and from werk to week they go in danger of defent.

Furthermore it has to be re-

Kowloon will take the field minus the services of Jones, their Tiéntain Interport centre-half, and this has meant a re-shuffling in positions.

Timberlake, ordinarily an in- alde left, goes to the pivotal position. He played there for the second airing last week and so is not an entire stranger to the position. This brings th Webb at inside left. Otherwise the team remains as before, with Lewis and Elliott con- atituting, the main spring of the attack,

So far as I know St. Joseph's remain the same as last work. This combination, strengthened by the inclusion of the Gosano bro- there, fairly outplayed the Navy, and Kowloon, although they have given praiseworthy displays this season, will have to strike their best form to avert defeat.

Assertions have been made thint the Rugby Union, were very por turbed at the frequent defections of their players and that some nction might be taken at the com. mittco meeting due to be held yesterday. After this meeting the only statement issued to the Preas was the following:
