CHINESE TEAM IN GOVERNOR'S CUP MATCH MIGHT BE IMPROVED UPON

Seven Players From Sing Tao: Faith In Ex-South China Men

THE GOVERNOR'S CUP—competed for an- nually between teams representing the Hongkong Chinese Amateur Athletic Federation and the Hongkong Football Association-will be the main attraction during the week-end for soccer fans. The match will be played at Caroline Hill to- morrow at 3.45 p.m. To-date the results have been four wins each.

Of the Chinese team, no fewer than seven players are from Sing Tao, and it would seem that the Federation are placing their faith in the ex-South China players. Frankly, I would rather see some now blood in the line up, what with the wealth of talent from the other Chinese teams.

All in all, the selection is not quite so representative as it should be, but is capable of upholding the traditions of the Federation,

Well Balanced Side

The Football Association have picked a well-balanced side. Robin- con in goal is the logical choice, and if he strikes his form, there is very little that can go past him. Leonard and Roughley are a pair of hard- kicking backs, and if they can come to an early understanding, they will have the Chinese attack properly covered.

Pope, Bright and Wilkinson con- stitute the middle trio. 1 should think that with Willamson In the

ivotal position, whereat he usually icts as the third back, he would andoubtedly act as a deterrent to the loso passing game of the Chinese.

In the forward line, they have a bustling

trio of

of incide forwards in Hendy, Fowler and Howlett. Their methods may upset the Chinese equilibrium and may be the turning point in the game, which should produce some interesting football.
