CLUB-MACAO CLASH FOR JANUARY WEAKNESSES WHICH MUST BE OVERCOME NOOY-S. FOWLER WING SUGGESTED
T now transpires that the Macao Hockey Club are unable to meet the Hong Kong Hockey Club until January of next year, and this will probably be before the Interport contest.
Last Wednesday's Triangular Tournament match between the Club and the Navy brought to light several interesting things; among these being the weakness of the wing-halves.
Cotesworthy and Tetley were very poor, and unless the Club improve in this department I can see a series of defeats for them LITTLE TO CHOOSE in the near future Reed, in the pivotal berth, was not very much better, taking practically three-quarters of the game to settle BETWEEN TEAMS

VERY fast, but scrappy Army hockey trial defeated the Club Last Wednes was held at Chatham Road yesterday, when the Army Selectors were given a final opportuni-
ty of picking their prospective team for their RECREIO LADIES Triangular Tournament fixture against the Royal Navy next Wednesday.
There were several notable absentees among whom were Lt. Garthwaite, who has an injured wrist, Lt. Boissier, Khan Bahadur
and C/Sergt. Reeks, all of whom are Army first flight hockey
players.
The trial proved without a doubt that Nur Mohamed, the Punjabis' goalkeeper, is the best the Army possesses, both Hol- lingsworth and Ludlow, who played yesterday, failing badly.
