I tried hard, but to no avail; I cannot tell you the Chinese team for Sunday's Governor's Cup match. They don't even know at headquarters;| although several of them there (and a few of us elsewhere) have a pretty shrewd idea. shrewd idea and a final selection are very often two different matters, and until Saturday night nothing official will be known about the 'com- position of the combined Chinese.

But I can tell you this, ¿cluded at left back. Here again the Neither Lee Wai-tong nor claims of Tam Kong-pak are not in-

As for the rest it is fairly safe to conjecture that the team will be 95 per cent. South Ciring Athletic, I am In- elinod to feel that the selectors will deliberate about finding a place for Mak Sui-ben. But can he displace Li Tin-sang? I doubt it on the latter's current forin. But he might be in-

WHERE REFEREES ARE GOING WRONG.

This is to umpires.

It has been very noticeable this season that umpires; par- ticularly in Mamak League matches, have been giving a wrong interpretation to the off- side rule.

Several times of late players, whe have been following up a colleague after he has broken through the op- position defence and received a pass from him, have been pulled up for offside.
