LADIES' HOCKEY SEVEN-A-SIDE SEMI-FINAL ROUNDS TO-DAY

S. CHINA "A".
GOOD SENIOR LEAGUE
·CARD TO-DAY
TO-MORROW'S SHIELD FINALS THE Finals of the Senior and Junior Shields, between South China "A" and the Police, and the Royal Engineers, the holders, and the East Lancs. respectively, are the main attrac- tions in this week-end's soccer programme, although to-day's five First Division clashes should also provide some thrilling entertain- ment.
South China "A's" policy of dropping Wong Mei-shun from, their intermediate line and bringing in Lau Hing-choi is a big: mistake, and, with a bustling line of Police forwards up against them, the League champions will soon realise that a heavy man like Wong is invaluable against the Police.
Tam Kong-pak's return to their defence is opportune, while, South China are retaining their original forward-line, which cannot be bettered. despite their failure last week.

The CB.A. Ladies, winners of the Caer Clark Cup competi- tion, are favourites for the title, but they will be seriously handi- capped by the absence of Mrs. White. Miss E.

Ladies" "B" team, they will meet with very strong opposition as a result of several positional changes.
The "Y" Ladies, who are the holders, have been consider- ably weakened by the departure for Home yesterday of Miss Joyce Adey, their inside-left, while Mrs. Henry, their left-half, left nearly a month ago for Shanghai.
