NEW SYSTEM NEEDED
SHOULD SELECTION OF CRICKET INTERPORT TEAMS BE TASK OF AN ASSOCIATION?
IS IT NOT HIGH TIME, now that cricket has gained such a prominent place in the sporting life of the local community, for it to be placed on a - sounder administrative basis, with an organised Asso- ciation, recognised as the ruling body, set up to conduct the League and to be responsible for the selection of Interport teams?
RETURNS TO FORM
It is a question which is exercising the minds of numbers of Hongkong cricket enthusiasts, who feel, despite the excellent work accomplished in the past by the officials of the Hongkong Cricket Club, that the time has now arrived that the game, parti- cularly in its chief competitive forms such as league and Inter- port cricket, should be controlled by a more representative body.

as, to the correct constitution of the team, and in a number of cases they considerably differed from that of the official team.
While one can, to some extent, ignore these personal claims to team selection, a little thought regard- ing the present position of Inter- port selecting in connexion with ericket does reveal that some sort of change is indicated.
The formation of a Cricket As- sociation, with jurisdiction over the League, and powers to select Inter- port and other representative teams would only be in keeping with other sporta in Hongkong In which con- tests with other Porta are main- tained, such as Tennis, Lawn Bowls. and Swimming,
