League Football is being sus- pended this Saturday for the second match in the Governor's Cup competition--a tourney which now takes, precedence over nearly all others in the amount of interest it awakens in the soccer fraternity of the Colony.

NO. ALL-CHINESE FINAL

Whatever else the Senior Shield draw did last evening, it assured South China A.A. of being represented in the final. The club's two first division teams, ono of the which are the holders, came out of the hat together in the semi-final draw and thereby destroyed all hopes of an all-Chineso final.

Club and Rolice contest the other semi-final and both games hold out a promise of thrilling duels. The matches will be played on February 22, the draw for Loth competitions boing as follows:-

DESERVED RECOGNITION

Howlands has deservedly gained recognition and has been awarded the position of goalkeeper. Swain finds a pince because he is on tip top from at the present, and Wolverson should make a rollable partner.

the most festure about the Chinese combina- tion is the restoration of Leung Wing- chui at centre-half. I think this is
