selection of 15 players from which the Civilian hockey team to meet the Combined Services on December 22 on the Naval ground atļ King's Park will be selected will meet with unanimous approval by the majority of hockey enthusiasts throughout the Colony who witnessed the trials, with two exceptions, however.
Ramzan, the K.LT.C. custodian, is not worthy of selection for-the-goalkeeper's position following indifferent displays in the two trials. Either Man Singh, of the Radio, or R. H. Wong, of

Although A. S. Bliss played a fine game on Sunday last, he Iwas in no way better than Hassan, the Radio pirot, who played
dazzling hockey throughout the encounter..
