Big Match For Poppy Day Fund

Strong Teams Selected

For Combined Services

And The Association

(By "SCRAMBLER")

CHIEF INTEREST in the soccor world during the holidays will be contred in the clash between the United Servicos and the Football Association scheduled for Monday on the Hongkong Football Club ground, in aid of the Poppy Day Fund,

Two very representative teams have been selected, and

a first-class game should result.

.

As an innovation, the centre portion of the covered stands will be reserved for the two dollar seats, and I hear on good authority, this is only in the nature of an experi- ment, to gauge the potentialities of the paying public for future Charity matches.

Eight Chincao playors have! been included in the Associa tion's line up, and with the wealth of Chinese talent at their disposal, the Association has done well in making the cholce quite representative.

In Cheong Wing-chel, the Assocla- tion haa an excellent custodian, whilst Blackburn and Lea Tin-sang! will form à very obstinate obsinele tu the Services'. attack. Pope, William- son and Isu King-ding, will com- prise the middle trio, and with Chung Yung-sum, Fung King-cheung, Chan Tak-fal, Lee Wal-tong and Hau Ching-tau,

AIRMAN INCLUDED

THE Services have included in their THE

team, Edmunds of the RAF. Reputed to be a One all-round player, he should be able to give Roughley | of the Navy support in defence. Moxham will be playing in goul, and I bellove that their half-back trio of Farnaby, Bright and Wilkinson, will have their hands full in keeplig a check on the Association's virile for- ward line.

On paper, the Services' forwards of Phippens, Pearson, Hendy, Saw and Gilroy, appear to be quile tor- midable, but whether they will be able to combine as well as the Association's quintet is another ques- tion. And another matter, if they forget to take their shooting boots along with them, they will have plenty on their hands.
