MAK

(By "Veritas")

TAK Sui-hon is the only nen-South China Athletic Association player appearing in the Chinese team to meet the Navy for the Lai Wah Cup on Sunday according to the selections made known to me to-day. And he is playing out of position, namely left back instead of right back.

Except for him the Chinese eleven will be composed of South China "A" league team players, with the half back line and attack in toto.

It is a fine team and one hesitates to contemplate their defeat by the Navy, even though recognising that the nauticals, if true to form, can play football second to none in the Colony.

IN SOUTHORN CUP ENCOUNTER

Although it was a mistake on the part of Miss McCaw which led directly to extra time being required in the Southorn Cup match between Hongkong Ladies and the Y.M.C.A., the defeat of the "y" was in the main due to their lack of stamina.
