15 Players Invited For Visit To Philippines

(By "Abe")

Hardly had the Manila footballers left Hongkong than preparations were begun for the forthcoming Inter- port visits to Macao and Manila. Hongkong soccer officials are certainly having a busy time this season!

According to present arrangements a team will visit Mucno on April 10 to play against the best the Portu- Kuese port can field, and a leam of 15-atrendy announced-will leave for Manila by the President Cleve- lund on April 28 and return by the 3.5. Tjisudane on

May 10. Though Interport matches with Macao bave been held regularly for the last few years, only junior players,

from Hongkong have nitnerto laken part. But now, with the un- provement shown in their soccer in recent years, Marso wants Hongkong to send a a fully representative team- which is only right.

Hongkong oflelals have agreed to do this, and as good an eleven as will be available will be picked for the trip.

The Navy's defeat by South Cluinn "B" on Wednesday has given South Chinn "A" a better chance in the League, and if they bent Eastern this afternoon, it will be difficult to hold them up.

If to-day's game ends in h draw, the tie will be re-played to-morrow on the same ground with the same arrangements.
