REFLECTIONS ON

LOCAL SOCCER RETURNS

TO THE NORMAL

FULL PROGRamme of LEAGUE GAMES THIS WEEK-END

NAVY FORCED TO MAKE EIGHT CHANGES IN TEAM

(By "Veritas")

Local football makes a welcome return to normal league pro- gramumes this afternoon and to-morrow, last week's postponed fixtures being brought forward. Once again we find South China "A", who are slightly behind the rest of the first division teams in the number of matches played, engaged in two games, while similar demands are being made of the Royal Welch Fusiliers. With the Navy playing South; Rutger: Gamble and S. Strange; Chinn "A" this afternoon, I would Hynes, Skinner and A. Duncan; ordinarily regard the Chinese un Fowler, Forrow. Howe, and beaten record as being in danger, Rikkford.

EIGHT CHANGES

A fortnight ago the Navy turned out the following side which very nearly beat South Chinn in the Senior Shield:-Pepper; Ryecroft, and West; Pyatt, McGuire, and Love; Roberts, Cousens, Gray, Cannell and Skinner. To-dny only Gray, Roberts and Skinner remili of that team, and the Navy will field the following strange and unknown combination:

Cocker (Hermes); Beard and

(Hermes): Мокм

Hughes (Hermes) Bennett (Berwick) and Goodrich (Daging); Kiley (Cornwall) Roberts (Cornwall) Gray (Daring) Constable (De. light) and Skinner (Duncan).

The last named is captain, and the reserves are:-Galding (De ilght), Lancashire (Defender), Phillips (During). and Stanley

(Dainty).

South China anticipate one, or Tay at the most two, changes. Qua-ilang is almost certain to re- main an absentee, and Tum Kong- pak will play at inside left, with Wong Mee-shun at inside right. Loung Wing-chul will again appear | at contre-half. Ip pak-wa may not turn out, in which case Lee Hung-ching will probably be in- troduced.
