With the soccer season to close this month and only a few games remaining to be played in the First Division, attention is centred on the race for the senior honours and the outcome of the Skottowe Cup final, the last named to be decided on Sunday afternoon at the Race Course where the SFX. will meet P.T.H. Stands, by kind permission of the Committee of the S.R.UF.C., will be erected for the game. Admission to the stands will be restricted to holders of Association passes, complimentary tickets and Official badges. Spectators are urged to assist officials in charge of the game by not encroaching on to the field of play at any time during the match. The trophy will be presented to the captain of the winning leam by Capt. H. G. Reed, President of the Shanghai Football Association.
On Saturday, soccer fans will have three senior matches to choose from, the most attractive being the encounter of the Lusitano eleven and Tung Hwa. The Portuguese, with nine players who helped to capture the International Cup, ere favoured to defeat Tung Hwa, who on the other hand also supplied nine players in the China team. Taking into consideration that the Portuguese defeated China by one of the most lopsided scores of the season, one just can't help thinking that they will defeat their opponents and thus avenge their first round loss. This game will be played at the Canidrome at 2.30 p.m.
Another game, at R.G. 1, will be between ASF and S.R.C. The latter have shown up very poorly this season and it looks s if the Foreign Legion will end their season, this being their last match, with a victory. Both teams are out-of the running for divisional honours, so a victory for either of them will not affect the standings.
In the last senior match of the day, the S.MP., probably League champions of the season, will trade kicks will J-R.C., who will also play their Vast match. The lawkeepers, although out of the Skottowe Cup, have reas serted their position by beating S.R.C. on Sunday and should humble IRE. without much difficulty.
