Although, announced as a trial to select an Army team, and the match graced with the presence of two selectors, it was impossible to discover yesterday what the real idea was behind the game played at Chatham Road. Judged from the players on view it had no affinity either to the forthcoming Lai Wah Cup final or the Kotewall Charity Cup competition.

SURPRISE GOALKEEPER

J

THESE players were selected

after some startling changes in the. final trial match played last Sunday. Ward, for instance, did not play in the first trial, and was selected only as reserve last week. Smeaton, according to the Shanghai Times, soomed a certainty as goal- keeper; and presumably, some cause, other than possible loss of form, has kept him out of the team. J. Shute of the Police and Li Ning of Tanghwa are generally regarded as Shanghai's best possible defence. Robbed of the services of Stanley Gash (how we shall miss him in Hongkong!), the selectors did not have much cause to worry about This successor, Symons being more jor less hand-made
