For Big

Big Game With South China To-day

(By “SCRAMBLER"}

BETTER ORGANISATION must prevail. if disorder is to be avoided in to-day's senior football game between. South China and Eastern at Caro- lino Hill. Those who witnessed the match last week between the home team and Sing Tao will readily agree that the then state of affairs was anything but conducive to the good of the game. The influx of so many thousands of spectators on to the ground bordering all round the touch lines, despite the fact that seating accommodation has been all sold out, will again be a big problem, unless, of course, the home team sees to it that only a limited number of tickets for seating ac- commodation only will be sold.

Rakusen is a bowler that makes good use of his head. He can adapt himself to conditions and his opponent's game with surprising facility, and for this he is greatly to be rec

reckoned with. In Abbas, how- over, is an opponent of an equal calibre, and one worthy of finalist honours.

Abbas's great victory over U, M. Omar will not be forgotten enstly, and if only for the merit he thereby gain- ed there will be quite a number of people ready to give support to the I.R.C. player.

Not even the great attractons of the Race Meeting or the South China- Eastern football match at Caroline Hill will turn enthusiasts from mak- ing the trip to the Club de Recrelo, and one can safely predict that the match will be well worth the journey.
