ALL IS IN READINESS for the big match bé- tween Hongkong and Macao to be played at Macao next Sunday. Hongkong will embark on its eighth Interport fixture having won three, drawn two and lost two.

With anything like good weather hopes run high for a

the Colony team is always a great attraction in the Portuguese port.

In our team there are four new "caps", and these are R. Marques (Recreio), Karminder the Singh (Khalan), B. Gosanu (Re- crelo) and H. L. Ozorio (Re- creio).
