The Hongkong team, details of which have already been announced in these columns, is a well balanced side but since Shanghai beat them last year there is no reason to say why another victory should not be recorded for the local team. The Colony XV is much the same as it was twelve months ago and it is a noticeable fact that while many of its members are not old, they. certainly are not young Qn the other hand, Shanghai's side contains well-proportioned sprink-Jing of youth that, as the game proceeds, ought to come into its owa. It is not io be thought that the Hong-Kong representatives are to be taken lightly. On the contrary their standard of football is probably higher than that of their opponents but it is doubtful whether their ageing for-weeds will be able to master the virile methods the younger Shanghai pack and until they accomplish this, all their efforts will be in vain.
