THIS year the Hong Kong Ladies
have been more seriously
challenged than in any past season, and on the form they displayed in [last Saturday's game they were ex- tremely fortunate to come away with both points.
The Saints were severely handi- capped by the absence of one of their best players. Miss Jessie Wang, the Colony's youthful cen

Miss Wong taken her place in the team there is no doubt that they

BIRD GIVEN VACANCY
C. J. A. Taylor is unable to travel with the Shanghai In- terport Rugby team, and has been replaced by G. V. Bird according to news from Shang- hal. There is also some doubt as to whether J. S Lee will be available to accompany the side.

THIS DECISION IS THE SEQUEL TO THE LOSS OF THREE OF THEIR BEST PLAYERS IN PRACHT, SOMMER AND AM MANN. PRACHT WAS INJURED RECENTLY IN A MATCH AGAINST THE CENTRAL BRITISH ASSOCIATION AND HAS NOT PLAYED SINCE WHILE SOMMER HAS BEEN UNABLE TO PLAY SINCE HIS RECENT OPERATION. AMMANN, THEIR GOAL KEEPER, HAS BEEN TRANSFERRED TO CANTON.
The enforced withdrawal is indeed unfortunate as the team was quite one of the most enthusiastic competing in the tournament, and despite their paucity of players they played all their games with
