MENZEL AND HECHT SPARKLE IN EXHIBITIONS Davis Cup Players At Cricket Club
BRILLIANT PLAY
AT THE NET
S. A. RUMJAHN IN FORM
(By "Veritas").
Roderich Menzel, nearly seven feet of brawn, brain and muscle, held the attention of a goodly number of spectators at the Hongkong Cricket Club yesterday afternoon when, in company with, his compatriot, L. Hecht, the Czecho- Slovakian Davis Cupper and tennis player of world wide reputation appeared in exhibitions with and against local talent.

Very Popular
(By J. P. Jordan)
I have been asked to remove a misunderstanding concerning: the Dominion Conference which the Rugby Union have con- vened in London on December
18.
Representatives of New Zealand, South Africa, and New South Wales are attending, but it has been stated that they will not meet, the ather home unions.
This is incorrect. The R.U. have invited the other home unions ta meet in a friendly round table dis- cussion after the first conference bas been held.
New Zealand will submit a sugges-: tion that un Empire Council be con- stituted, each union having equal| representation, which would. have the power to amend or add to the inwa of the game, and to arrange pro- grammes of international tours.
The Dominions have for long been striving for equal status with the home unions, and it seems to me only fair that they should have some direct voice in the government of the game. VALUE OF GOALS
