Charity Matches To Herald Soccer Season

South China Anticipate

Another Good Year

New Players For Sing Tao: Police Ranks Strengthened

(By "SCRAMBLER")

ALTHOUGH the official soccer season opens on September 27, a series of Charity games will be staged in between now and the opening date in aid of local and war charities. Most teams in the Senior league have been preparing hard for the winter campaign, and the Chinese teams in particular are in fine fettle due to their tours during the off season.

Rivalry and competition this forthcoming season will be keener than over, with the Chinese teams going all out for supremacy. The civilians' Clubs do not appear to be in any state to offer a challenge, although from the Services, a good deal is expected.

So far, with the exception of

Sing Tao, none of the Chinese

teams have any new blood to Kwong Wah And

add to their already imposing i line-ups and South China arej looking forward to another very promising season.

They will have the nucleus of last year's players" although Lee Kwok- wai has thrown in his lot with; Kwong Wah. But with the ex- perience gained by their junior players in their last tour of Malaya, South China can now call on their services for senior cleven, and us stated previously, will once again constitute a threat to any team an- pling to the Champlonship.
