CHAMPIONS TO BE TESTED BY THE FUSILIERS
E. Lancs. Out To Lower S. China "B" Record
(By "Veritas")
THE
HE week-end league football programme is something out of the bag, and some exceptionally fine games are promised. This afternoon the big drawing card in the first division is the Sookunpoo encounter between East Lancashires and South China "B". The Chinese are still clinging, though somewhat precariously, to their unbeaten record, and on recent form of the East Lancashires, I do not think the Caroline Hill outfit will lose it to-day. But it should be a rattling good game.
Rifles will be all out to retain the leadership at King's Park where they are visitors to the Club de

Elliott, will have a hard journey against the improving Chinese Athletic, and it would come as no big surprise' if they lost.
To-morrow the big match is South China "A" v. Royal Welch Fusiliers at Caroline Hill, and the Chinese can expect just as stren ous a tussle as they received against Kowloon Chinese last week, and the Royal Ulster Rifles previous to that. Fusiliers are a hard 'nut to crack, especially if Talbot is on form. Talbot presents the same kind of danger to the Chinese na did Ridley the Lincoln- shires' inside left. A draw is not unlikely, although I rather think the benefit of playing before their own supporters will encourage South China sufficiently to pull off a win.
Navy to-morrow are up against that "Dark Horse" of the first division-Kowloon, and here an interesting game is assured. Navy have to fear Knox, the Colony's budding centre-forward, whose shooting on the run stands in a class of its own in Hong- kong. The Navy men will also have to play inuch better than they did against the Army last Wednesday if they are to avoid
defeat.
