South China Out For Double"

Senior Shield Final At Causeway Bay Opposition From Navy

(By "SCRAMBLER”)

SOUTH CHINA will be going all out to bring off the "double" to-day when they meet Royal Navy in the final of the Senior Shield, and from the way they have been preparing during the past wook, their prospects in this direction are bright. With the final play-off of this competition, and the Champions versus the Rost on Monday, the official soccer soason is brought to a close, al- though April 19 will see the final of the Governor's Cup.

South, China will once again be depending on the old brigade, but the absence of that fast forward, Chan Tak-fai, will be somewhat felt in their attack. Chin Chi- fai, who was called in last week in the Kotewall Cup from their juniors, will in all probability be retained in their line up, which with the return of Tsang Chung-wan from Manila, will bring them up to full strength.

South China cannot be too! placid in their attitude towards this game, for the Royal Navy have also been at practice ns- aiduously, and their display against Eastern in the semi-final game still stands fresh in the

freien they are as good as

the Chinese, but team work plays very important part and in this res pect, South Chino Fave decidedly the edge over them.

Comparing the respective depart ments of the two teams, it would be liard to find much difference, yet in attack, I am certain many will agree; with me that South Chia have the advantages of having a quinlette that are capable of producing goals. Their play is also well to the fore which cannot be said of the Navy.

W. G. E. LUDDINGTON, the England and Navy Rugby forward,| who has died of wounds, is well remembered as the man who won the Calcutta Cup and the interna- tional championship of 1923 for England with a place kick, For that kick Luddington had been practising daily for a a week with E, R. Gardner, his colleague in the Devon- port Services, Navy and England teams, to hold the ball. Scotland, 15 minutes from no-side, led by G points to 3. Then H. M. Locke broke away from his own "25," the ball went loose, and Tominy Voyce. appearing as usual from no one quite knew where, grabbed it and went over far out.
