KOWLOON CHINESE APPEAL AGAINST SUSPENSIONS
LOCAL LEAGUE SOCCER
NOW 20 MATCHES
IN ARREARS
Prospects For Week-End
(By "Veritas")
WE are getting somewhere near the half-way stage of
the football programme—that is by the calendar; but if you care to study your fixture lists and then league tables, you will discover that the league is something like 20 matches in arrears. However, lest I should once again be accused of un-constructive criticism towards the man- agement and conduct of the lilly-white Hongkong Foot- ball League, I will leave it at that-at least for the time being:
All I would suggest to our football authorities is to ponder over this. Twenty games in arrears by December 6. That's an average of two per week since the season started. There remain 21 weeks to go before the season officially closes. If this average is maintained clubs will be able to boast with great pride that they at least fulfilled half of the season's fixtures during 1936- 37.
And the answer? Well I know it, but I fear to put it down on paper again, or I shall be condemned as a destructive critic. And heaven forbid that my brave family escutcheon should be thus so andly soiled...
Here I am on much safer ground--I hope. It's a good programme. In fact on Sunday it is a very good programme. Full of choice altrue- tions such as Navy versus China "A", Police (Yes, even Police!)
Which leads ine up to discuss the week-end football.
versus South China “B”, and Fusiliers versus Eastern. These, naturally, are senior division ma tehes.
In the second division (also to-morrow) there is Navy versus Royal Engineers--a tit-bit this and Rifles versus Kowloon Chinese, who (Kowloon Chinese, I mean) to-day play Kumaon Rifles in the Junior Shield. Kumaons are the fellows who substitute "rubber shoes for studded boots, and bare feet for rubber shoes, and still play darn good soccer at that. Methinks there will be a liberal sprinkling of spectators to see these warriors in action this afternoon.
To-day also features the annual "Derby" (it's a misnomer but somebody started it years ago so that now it has become a tradi- tional appellation) between Club and Kowloon. Strangely though this match seldom produces the good football it should, though per. haps this afternoon, will give the lie direct to this statement.
Rifles, who once threatened to become as invincible as the Arsenal were, but have become as "chaney" as Chelsen are, re. ceive Kowloon Chinese. I wouldn't put a cent on the result,
though I can't suggest a single reason why the soldiers shouldn't win, unless, of course, they continue to play like last week.
