Another attractive encounter in that between the Club and Royal Ulster Rifles on the Club ground. This should give the Civilians thorough tealing in preparation for their Shield match, and special signi- fiennee is attached to the game as it in the Club's feat outing since the Interport team returned.
Hill and Sydney Strange have re turned from Shanghai and the Club will be further strengthened by the inclusion of 1. G. Robertson at left half.
