YESTERDAY'S Kotowall Cup encounter between the Army and Navy at Caroline Hill was such a game of parts, that there were times when one derived much more entertainment from listening to the caustic comments of exasperated sailors and soldiers, than by watching the play.

ADDITIONALSENTENCES
FOR SUSPENTED MAMAK HOCKEY PLAYERS
There has been a sequel to the Mamak League match incident which led to the tournament committee suspending a player and cautioning another.
The incident was reported to the Hongkong Hockey Associn- tion which endorsed the Mamak Committee's decision, and then went a step further by suspending the Xavier brothers from fur- ther participation this season in friendly hockey matches,
The Umpires' Hockey Board has taken a serious view of A. S. Xavier's case, and as he is a qualified umpire they have suspended him from playing in any further friendly fixtures. He can, how- ever, play in Mamak League matches.
