SPORT FIXTURES FOR PAMELA WERNER H.K. NAVAL
WEEK-END
Ladies Hockey Interport Team Forecast
FOOTBALL, CRICKET AND RUGBY
A full programme of sport has been arranged for to-day and there will be cricket, Hockey, Bugby football and soccer-variety enough to satkfy even the most fastidious. The League soccer matches, of course, will claim the largest following, but the Triangular Tournament Burby football encounter between
the
Club and the Array; on the former's ground, is bound to attract all members of that small section of the community whose great delight is to watch this excellent form of sport which, alas, bas not yet quite won round certain sections of the community.
Great interest will be manifested in the Ladies' Seven-A- Side Hockey competition and the Interport Selection Commit- tee will no doubt take the opportunity to watch the form of the candidates for Interport honours, the match against Shanghai being scheduled to be played during the Holidays.
As the East Lancashire - Regi- ment are still here, their remain- ing Axtures in the Football League will not yet be taken over by the Seaforth Highlanders and 'the main attraction in this afternoon's programine, insofar as soccer is concerned, will be the game be- tween Bouth China "A" and the Rifles. the match being scheduled to start at 4 pm. on the Caroline Hill ground.
