(By Our Own. Correspondent)
Macao, Feb. 21. Large crowds of spectators as: sembled at the Macao hockey ground which was the scene of much ex- ellement when a selection of the pick of the Army' teams from Bangkong met the local eleven in a friendly encounter this afternoon. The result of the match was two goals to one in favour of Macao,
The game was very even and from the outset play was extremely fast. Macao opened the score after fifteen minutes when Pedrinho Angelo, Macao's verantlle centre forward, managed to break through the Army defence and place a nent shot into the net.
The Army equalised five minutes later, Captain Ryland being respon- sible for a brilliant goal. Taken from a difficult angle, the shot was well-timed and amazingly directed through the smallest possible open- ing between the home full back and goalkeeper.
Macao Was Shortly afterwards ahead with a goal registered again Army by Angelo. Howlett, the custodian was unfortunately prevent- ed from clearing owing to one of his backs obstructing, and Angelo there- upon secured the ball scoring from close range.

Thereafter both sides held their Own against repeated attacks, visitors having as much of the ball as their opponents.

ENTHUSIASM FOR FOOTBALL Canton Team Walks Off Field
Soccer has evoked much enthusiasm Jocally throughout the week, and games were witnessed on February 16 and 17 when the eleven of the Kwong Wah University of Canton met local teams.
Some minutes before the close of the first match with the Tenebroso Club when the score stood at one-all, the visitors abandoned the match alleging rough play on the part of their opponents. The second match with Macno's selec- tion resulted in a draw, 1-1.

A very fine game was witnessed here yesterday when the eleven of the Royal Engineers, a second division tcam of the Hongkong Football League, defeated the Macto Artillery by five goals, to ono.
The local side was unhappily forced to play without Lobato, their dependable full-back. During the Orst half,
the visitors registered two goals and the home team, one. As two of the Engineers players were in- Jured with leg sprains, the visitors played with only nine men during the second half.
A. Santos, centre forward, C. Silva, left back, and A. N. T. Sanics, outside left, shone for the local side, whlie for the visitors, Sapper Howlett, inside left, and Supper Sellick, goal, played outstandingly.

PERRY ON DAVIS CUP PROSPECTS
BRITAIN HAS A CHANCE
(By Fred Perry)
For the London "Storning Fou“
Pittsburgh, U.S.A Although we are still In the middle of winter and Davis Cup play does not start until May overy tennis enthusiast throughout the world is staring to predict the outcome of the 1937 competition. Even though these predictions ure somewhat premature, it must be obvious even to a layman follower of tho game that the competition will be an extremely oper affair this year. However, I defy anyone to name the winner right now. There are per- haps thirty-two nations from which to choose, but it is generally agreed, and quite rightly so, that the ultimate winner will be found among Great Britain, United States, Germany, and Australia.
The average man will immediately say that Britain appears to have to defeat any of the little chance
face of IL other three. On the things look that way, but when you examine the matter more closely I think you will agree that the Brilish have as much chance as any of the othors.
During the time in which the Davis Cup team was composed of Austin, Hughes and myself, all we had to do was to find a partner for We were in Hughes in the doubles. the same position as the French had been for six years previously, and so none of our so-called "Davis Cup possibilities" thought it worth while to train like mad in an effort to oust one of us, because they knew it was hopeless.
The result was that we found our- selves without anyone actually ready to step Into the breach in case of trouble. I turned professional and the trouble was there, but it must be remembered that there are still seven months to go before the competition becomes vital as far as Britain is concerned, as they have to play only the challenge round at the end of July. In that time I am positive that someone will come along, even as quickly as I, myself, did six years ago. I look forward confidently to that there will be July, knowing someone to fight to keep that Cup in Just the same way we dought to keep it in the last three years.
the America, too, are la much sume position, though I must confess they have more, talent on hand from which to choose their second singles player. Budge la certain to play one just as certain is the single, and selection of Budge and Moko for the doubles. But they still have to find a suitable player to take care of the second match. They huve a wealth. of talent in the older school, and such players as tiggs and Hunt of the school. But they have a younger dimeult task on, hand.
which
If their choice, whoever he is, fails, then they have made a mistake. This is, indeed, a great burden to put on any player, particularly a young one, in a Davis Cup match means so much. At the moment Riggs seems to be the logical cholce, but I think that Hunt has the greater possibilities. Perhaps the choice of Hunt would give him that extra con fidence he needs, and make him into a great player. The same might happen with Rises, but there is always a danger It might affect them the other way. Both Britain and America have a difficult problem, but, whereas we, in England, have eight months to make up our minds, the Americans have only unother two or three months at the outside.
come Now we
to Australia's chances. They have the best team of any right now. Crawford, Quist, and McGrath are a tried and worthy threesome. They have come усту near to winning the cuy. Their chief trouble seems to be the gradual de- cline of Jack Crawford. He has been on top of the world, and is Anding it increasingly difficult to keep up the interest which made him so great. Always the artist, Jack is a dimcult player to beat, especially in Davis Cup play.
the been resting over Quist has winter, and should be in fine feather for the start of the season, while a player, like McGrath would make the actual team in any other country. They have a fine team spirit, these boys, and one worthy of note,
The dark horses of the competition come from Germany in the person- ages of von Cramm and Henkel. They have reached the inter-Zone final two years in succession, the first. year beating Australia and getting within an ace of taking care of the Merkel's best United States team. trouble was that he could not win a match from a winning position, as something always seemed to happen to him. Indeed; a preullar symptom.
