Saigon Team Now Arriving On Thursday
THE SOCCER MATCH 'be- tween Hongkong and Saigon scheduled for Thursday at Caroline Hill has been postponed
for a day owing to the late arrival of the visiting team. An accident to the ship on which they were to have sailed raade it necessary

The Interport will place on Friday and will be followed on Saturday and Sunday by matches
in which Saigon will meet Eastern
and South China.
For the three Saigon matches, tickets have been stamped by Gov- ernment for entertainment tax, thus obviating the possibility of counter- feits being cold.
