LEAGUE SOCCER MAKES DELAYED START TO-DAY

DIFFICULT TO GAUGE TALENT

OF TEAMS YET

18 Matches Down for Decision this Week-End

(By "Abe")

League soccer will make a delayed start to the 1939 40 season this week-end. Altogether 18 matches are down for decision to-day and to- morrow and should provide a splendid kick-off to the season.

Most of the clubs participating th the League have either acquired or lost some players since the close of the last Benson, and at the present moment it is difficult to gauge the strength of each team. Enough is known, however, to indicate that some of them have shown consider- able Improvement, Kwong Wah, Kit Che for instance, have been reported in have come on a great dea and their

Eastern, who were runners-up in the League Inst sensm, not only have retained most of their players of last year but have acquired the services of a few newcomers, who should help the team retain their place near the top. It is even been rumoured that some of the Halpha-Honol players who were seen in Hongkong last month may be returning to the Colony to help Eastern. How far this is true I am unable to say.

TO-MORROW'S MATCHES Originally the Royal Navy were to play Kowloon to-day, but owing to Volunteer manning exercises the game has been put back to to-mor- row on the Navy ground. This ought lo be a good game.

It will be inter- esting to see how the guardians of the peace shape in their first League mateli. Drastic changes have been made, I am told, and with several new nequisitions, they are likely to be a force to be reckoned with.

South China A, lest year's cham- plons, play St. Joseph's at Caroline Till to-morrow and barring a miracle ought to win. The Saints, as far as I know, have not acquired any new outstanding talent, relying mostly on the players who have done duty in the post couple of seasons. They are not likely to be of much trouble to the champions, who will give the opposite defence a busy time, especi- ally it Lee Wal-tong is turning out. The following is the full pro-
