THE PROSPECTS
I suppose at this time cne's mind 21.33 automatically turns to search for what have become known as the "Lessons of the Interport:" but the recent contests have taught us little that is new, although they certainly impressed some of the old truths.
Without regarding the results, or weighing their merits, I think one of the most obvious and important lessons to be gained from the visit of Shanghai is the inestimable value of team work.

OCAL football re- turns to its nor- mal state to- morrow, and it will be welcomed by not a few, for the Inter- port contests, though the eagerly awaited event in local soccer every year, has a natural effect of working everything up to a high pitch and of leaving its reaction, so that re- version to the
ordinary quiet, but interesting league programme is some- thing to be enjoyed.
Although a change in the leadership is not anticipated, n the Artillery have a compantively easy match, the programme is full of interest.
