(By "Veritas"},

The Hongkong Interport football selectors have done their task, and done it well. The announcement yesterday' of the team to represent the Colony against Shanghai next Saturday created no real surprise. The only startling choice (if it can be put as high as that) was the preference of Tso Kwai-shing for Bernie Gosano on the right wing.

Judged on his form a week ago,

For the first time in several years a really satisfac- tory final Interport football trial was played yesterday, and this despite contrary elements, and the absence of several of the originally selected players. The selectors must have left gratified in having their task made so much easier, and it was not surprising to find them announce their final team immediately after the game. The result in terms of goals was quite inconsequential. In fact, although the Whites won by the odd goal in seven, a draw
