TO-DAY'S RUGBY CLASSIC AT SOOKUNPOO
NAVY STARS MISSING® FROM
COMBINED SIDE
ALMOST the day after their return from their
unsuccessful Interport visit to Shanghai the Club to-day encounter the Combined Services in the last of the big representative rugby games to be played this season, and for this purpose are turning out a very strong fifteen, in spite of three notable absentees in McLellan, the skipper, who has retired from the game for the rest of the season, H. C. Meeke, who is suffering from an in- jured leg, and I. H. Bradford who is recovering from having the skin rubbed off his shoulders in the Interport at Shanghai.
The Combined Services have also got together a very strong fifteen, although most of the Navy's first ifteen are notable absentees, Cheyne, Benson, Forbes. St. Clair Ford, Hammett, Whitfield and Roome being missed, while Cpl. Hardy, of the Bor derers and one of the finest forwards in the Colony, is an Army absentee.
The Club's threequarter line is the original Interport selec tion, and the result of this afternoon's display should prove very interesting..
In their last encounter, played several weeks ago, the St. Andrew's Ladies were held to a goalless draw A surprising feature of the by their opponents, but, with their game is the exclusion of Kerr:

ATHLETIC'S TASK AGAINST GUNNERS
IN spite of the loss of Tay Quee-liang from the inside-left position, South China "A" will go all out this afternoon in an effort to obtain the “treble" over the Royal Navy, whom they enter- tain at Caroline Hill in their return First Division League soccer fixture.
South China drew with the Royal Navy in their first Senior Shield encounter, but won the replay by the odd goal in five after a thrilling display. This afternoon they will be somewhat han- dicapped by the absence of their fast inside-left; in whose stead will be played Wong Mei-shun, who has rarely represented South China this season.
With a revival to form of the Lincoln forwards, the Club, will have to produce excellent football to secure both points from the soldiers. The Club will be playing without Ernie Strange for the first time this season, and his vacancy at inside-left will be filled
by Andy Duncan, who moves up from left-half-
