INTERPORT TRIAL RESERVES TAKE THE HONOURS

POLICE HAVE SOUTH CHINA AT THEIR MERCY

BUT THROW OPPORTUNITIES AWAY

(By "Veritas).

South China "A" have to thank the Police that they still remain án unhesten side in the first division of the Hongkong Football League. If certain custodians of the law had taken but ten per cent. of the chances offered in Saturday's stirring game on the Railway Ground, the Chinese would have been robbed of their exalted record. But Johnston, Stevens and Green looked gift horses in the mouth for the best part of seventy minutes and the upshot of the match between South China and the Police was a draw, each team netting once.

WHAT THE TRIAL INDICATES... ·

(By "Veritas)

If the selectors had to pick their Interport team as a result of yesterday's trial, I feel sure they would choose the following:-Wong Wing; Li Tin-sang and C. Pile; Feneghan Pardoe and Parker; B. Gosano, Higgins, Howe, Elliott and Bickford. But there is another trial in the offing, so that it is unlikly that we shall see this combination selected. None the less I warrant a Miss M.
