HONGKONG FOOTBALL LEAGUE COMMENCES TO-DAY

TEAMS ANXIOUS TO START WELL IN THE SEASON

A HEAVY PROGRAMME FOR THE WEEK-END

(By "Abe")

Although the League does not start until to-day, the local football season for all intents and purposes began two or three weeks ago; team-building has been in progress for a long time, and many friendly matches, to give the players some valuable practice, have been played.

In the long-drawn-out battles for honours in the League, a good be ginning is the finest tole of all, so every match 10-day will be charged with Cup-lle keenness A winning art may make all the difference to a team, capcefully one in which there u preponderance of young

Kowloon will be the Navy's first opponents. This club lost several of their best players at the end of last senson, and it would appear that a new team will have to be built up Though they no longer have Row- lands to keep out gonts for them, in Hartley, formerly of the Middlesex Regiment, they have a new keeper who, if not as brilliant as the Royal Welch Fusiliers' star, may yet prove as reitable.

While it is hardly likely that the selections of Hongkong's three rinks to meet Shanghai in the Bowls Interport next month will satisfy everybody, most fair-minded critics will agree that a good job has been done. There is a nice blending of youth and experience, and it is also quite obvious that good form shown during the season has been duly recognised.
