has just came to my notice through the secretary of the Mamak
Shield Competition, Mr. E. V. Marshall, that early in the New Year, provided sufficient Hupport is forthcoming, a Hockey Festival, to take the form of knock-out competition, will be held. The event will be open to all clubs in the Colony and should be welcomed by all enthusiasts for it will provide yet another op. ortunity for pinyers to improve their game by competitive hockey. The chiof difculty, I am given to anuerstand, will be in the matter of grounds, but I feel sure all Clubs with their own grounds will co-operate and do overcome this dimesity. A special committee will be formed to manage the com- petition for which a silver cup is io be presented.
