THE PROBLEM FOR INTERPORT HOCKEY TEAM SELECTORS
BY 'OBSERVER'
In preparation for this season's Interport match with Macao, which will take place at Macao sometime in February, the Hongkong Hockey Association held the first two trials 5 pm. 15th Dec. On Sunday.
5 pm. 11th Dec.
3 p., 12th Dec,*
3 pm. 10th Dec.
3 p. 18th Dec.
Altogether a disappointing standard of play was seen in these games, and if Hongkong are to break the deadlock in these Interport matches which have ended in a draw in Balls from Custodian What the last two years, a much greater improvement will have
to be shown in the succeeding trials.

The inability of the Police players, who were away in Macao, to take part in the trials and the consequent rearrangement of teams was one cause for the poor show. But the major one seemed to be the bumpy condition of the ground, which did not allow the players to give of their individual best. It is, indeed, a great pity that the standard of a game which commands such a big following of both men and women, and which ranks as one of the few truly amateur sports in the Colony, should greatly suffer from lack of a suitable ground.
