S'hai Unable To Make The Trip Owing To Expense
H.K. TRIP NORTH
NO SOLUTION
LADIES HOCKEY CIRCLES in Hong Kong will regret to learn that the forthcoming Interport with Shanghai has been abandoned.
An advice received from the North-
ern port yesterday by Hong Kong La- dies' Hockey Association indicated the inability of a Shanghai team to make the trip here owing to financial rea-
sons.

In view of the unfavourable change the decision of Shanghai dies' Hockey Association is not unex- pected but disappointment will be no less keen.

and Pte. Halfield added no fewer than 47.
nut Faced with a total of 135, I would
have been greatly surprised if Recrelo had lost, but J. Gosano, E. L. Gosano and N. Beltrao made the most of their scoring op- portunities and the deed was done just be fore time.
Hatfield bowled steadily but received little support from a mediocre attack, while for Recreio, Eddie Gosano took six wickets and Ozorio, difficult to get away, for once failed to come away with a big "bag."
ONE-SIDED MATCH
"
The match at Sookunpoo between LR.C. and University was too one-sided to be in- enabledteresting and the former team, after Madari
and Minu had skittled the undergraduates out for 50. knocked off the 59 runs required for the loss of only one wicket.
ARMY SPORTLIGHT
(By "SQUADDY")
THE way in which the Army eleven trounced the Navy when they met them in the Kotewall Cup last week augurs well for their future success during the season and I think if things are managed properly that they stand
a good chance of defeating the Chin- ese, at least if they receive a normal amount of good fortune.

A lot of improvement could be made in these two positions and it is possible that the selection committee will move Pearson to the inside position and, if Emberson is fit, bring him in at out-- side-right.
GUY did well at centre-half, although I have seen him play better games. Chief danger is, I think, that the I think he was inclined to take things team might consider they are already a little too easily when it became ob- good enough to beat the Chinese; but | vious what poor quality the opposition there is a lot of room for improvement were, and he was beaten rather easily yet. No doubt they will play a great on several occasions. Nevertheless he deal better than they did on Thursday appears the man for the position and when they have played together as a with a few more games should make

ALTHOUGH weakened in a couple of positions by players being at camp and on other duties the side it was managed to fleld was quite strong and I do not foresee a great number of changes when they play the Navy in the Lat Wah Cup next Saturday.
Biggest weakness seemed to be on the right wing where Martin and Pearson could never seem to coine to an understanding. I think the chief fault was Martin's habit of playing more to his centre-forward than his

WRIST MOVEMENT

A flick of the wrists' seems to be more of a magician's term than ̧ a golfer's yet it has its place in golf too. For instance in the above illustration, its place' is in the sand trap where a modifled explosion shot is taking place. The golfer portrayed is none other than Bobby Jones, who was ma-.- gician enough himself to win four major titles in one year. Jones' wrist action in this shot stands out in bold relief. The swing it- self is much less than full, the club being far removed from a horizontal line at the top so that much of the clubhead speed de- pends upon the acceleration the wrists will add.
In the middle panel, the wrists are still cocked, the clubhead lag- ging far behind as the sharp an- gle at this point will show. By uncocking the wrists at this point, Jones Increases the clubhead speed terrifically while still re-
