Both defences played stoutly, and I thought Lawlor performed with dis- Aincl credit in goal. Hopkins was a very reliable left back against the mos!

HAS SHAPED
No Finishing Powers
Since their arrival in Hong- kong, the Waseda University hockey team has played four games and lost them all. They have scored six goals and con ceded 18.
Though they suggested speed in their first game against the Services it was found that they could not maintain the pace, and subsequently went to pieces.
The whole team turned out in leather studded boots but they were later informed by an official of the not be H.K.I.A. that they would allowed to wear them as the rules did not permit. So the team, with the exception of H. Tomita and M. Ishihara changed into rubber shoes, though it is strange to note that these were the only two players to suffer from cramp.
MUCH BETTER TO LOSE ON THEIR OWN MERITS
Than To Win With A Bolstered-Up XI
It is definitely stated that the Hongkong University are fielding past students in the team to oppose Waseda University on Saturday. I can't help feeling this is a wrong policy.
Before the Waseda team left they wrote to the Hongkong Hockey Association suggesting that seven games be arranged, special mention being made of the Hongkong University. At 1 council meeting of the Ass0- iation it was proposed that if Je local University was unable

On the other hand, the Argonautas, resent winners of the Inter-Section Tournament, have been forbidden to nclude members of their own club (who have represented the Recrélo in the Inter-Section james) to play against Waseda this afternoon.
But if past students are to be allowed to strengthen the University side, why shouldn't
a similar privilege be ex- tended to the Argonaulas? If any thing they have stronger claims.
