FORECAST OF COLONY'S INTERPORT SOCCER XI S. China Athletic Will Release Players If Needed

Lawton To Play Centre-Half?

(By "Veritas")

A week ago we had scarce given a thought to Interport football. Now we find the subject thrust prominently before us, "all of a sudden lika”. In less than three weeks the game will have been played, won and lost, or of course possibly drawn. Sometime in the very near future (the Telegraph will let you know when), the selectors are going to choose trial teams. On Sunday week the first and only trial match will be played. The following week we shall see the finally selected team oppose the Rest. After that we shall have to sit back and wait for the result.

In the meantime some not en-

interesting things have been brought
