Cliff Jones may not be so fortunate. The accident happen- ed in a match played between Cardiff and Swansea on November 28, and Wales play their first International against England at Twickenham on January 16.

Small Units Very Disappointing
PORTUGUESE BACKS IN THE LIMELIGHT
A very disappointing foothall match was witnessed on the Soo- kumpoo ground yesterday when the Small Units, comprising the Royal Army Service Corps and the Royal Army Ordnance Corps. shared two goals with the Macan Artillery team, who are on a short visit to the Colony and who left for the Portuguese island yester- day evening.
The standard of soccer was very poor and had Hopkinson not head- ed the ball over his own goal- keeper, Smith, the local team- would have won the game.
The Macau team exploited some very pretty moves, but rarely kept the ball on the ground, although they excelled in headwork. Like their game against the Royal En- their finishing was very poor, otherwise they would have scored several goals.
