ST. JOSEPH'S FACING THIRD SUCCESSIVE DEFEAT

BORDERERS THE NEXT

NUT TO CRACK

SOLDIERS SHOULD WIN VITAL SOCCER GAME

CLUB HAVE TO MAKE CHANCES

(By "Veritas"),

St. Joseph's are facing the prospects of defeat for the third week in succession. Frankly, after studying their two, displays against South China, I can hold out very little hope of their surviving against the Borderers in Saturday's important league match.

The difference in the match- winning potentialities of South China and the Borderers are scarcely arguable, and if the soldiers play true to form this week, one finds it difficult to believe in their possible defeat. The positions vacated by Har- ris and Wallace have been ade- quately filled, and, to all intents and purposes the Borderers are still without a weak link.

Once again the Saints will be up against a brilliant half back line, and an equally magnificent defence. And it is this which I expect to lie the turning point in the Borderers? favour,

The forward line weakness of the Saints, wilch has so ruthless- ly been exposed during the last fortnight, must be causing Club -ofléials some concern. The In- ability to make use of chances in front of goal has contributed more than anything else to the Green and White's defeats this season.

An additional factor in favour of the 24th is their great speed. both in tackling and moving the ball. It has upset more than one team this year, and is just as like. ly to bewilder the Saints.

The match, which is being play- ed at Caroline Hill, promises to be splendidly contested. I believe St. Joseph's can do better than they have against the Chinese these past two weeks, and certain- ly I think they will approach their task with more confidence, for they always have suffered a slight Inferiority complex against South China.

It is seldom one sees such complete reversals of form in the course of one match as that witnessed when Taui Wai-pui and Lieut. R. R. G. Hoare met in their quarter-final tennis encounter on the stand court yesterday,

Seldom were the exchanges up to standard. Hoare played very well in the opening set, but it was against an opponent 80 per cent. below normal form, whereas when Taul recovered himself, it was Hoare who collipsed, and failed to offer any resistance to a player who was still only feeling his way, and who at no time stroked with any confidence,

Hoare's sound ground strokes soon gave him an early advantage.
