The Interport Selection Com- mittee must have felt like pafting themselves on the back for the inspiration which led to their making yesterday's Governor's Cup match an official Interport trial. It was a magnificent game; and the displays by the various players must have gladdéned the hearts of those responsible for the task of choosing the Colony's team to play Shanghai next month.

The match fed one to the confident conclusion that the following are dead certainties for the Interport side.

Rowlands, Lee Tin-sang, A. V. Gosano, Leung Wing-chul, N. Bel- trao, Fung King-cheung. Dee Wal- tong. Wilson and Blekford.

the qucation, can Hongkong afford to include a half back whose tactles are so often questionable that he is llable at any time to concede a free kick, which may lead to a goal for the opposition?

Lee Kwok-wai gave away half a dozen tree kicks in this match, many of them from threatening positions, and while he is prone to do this one feels it is too great a risk for the Association to include him against Shanghal.

When it came to relative skill as a player, both in defence and in crea- tive work, Lee Kwok-wal left Sonny Bilss standing In fact Bliss never looked like a probable Interporter,. being fearfully slow, and showing no idea of what to do with the ball when in possession.
