Three more senior teams will wind up their schedule the coming weekend, with the year's crucial game to be played at the Canidrome on Saturday afternoon when SMP., current leaders of the League and hot favourites for the championship, will meet Tung Hwa. The outcome of the issue will decide the winner of the League. Should the policemen win or even draw, the League will be theirs. A win for the Chinese—and it is not. improbable after their showing against Lusitano last Saturday—will see Tung Hwa recapture the championship once again.
The match will be played at 230 pum. and a huge crowd is expected to witness the encounter, as the Chinese have recaptured some of their lost prestige and their partisans will turn out enforce to see them play the team that has twice already beaten them.
It is very dificult to envisage just who will win the game, both sides having excellent chances to pave their way for the victory. With N. Z. Lee dropping to the back line, the Chinese boast of a good defence. while K. H. Huang demonstrated that he was quite an opportunist in the forward line. The lawkeepers, too, have a strong defence, while their at tacking line is one of the best, this being demonstrated by their game against J-RIC. on Saturday when they scored six goals in the second half.
The third senior team to end their season will be the S.R.C, who will meet Lusitano at R. G. 2. The Portuguese won the initial game easily just three weeks ago and should repeat their performance, especially since the Recs have deteriorated considerably.
It is also announced that arrangements are being made for the staging of a special charity match about April 5, between Portugal, winners of the International Cup, and the Rest of Shanghai. More details will be issued in due course, Our choice for the Rest would be: Premet, Collet, N. Z. Lee, Symons, Leriou, S. T. Liang, Foyn, Kidby, Karolitch, J. Ward and Chooklantzeff.
