SUNDAY'S HOCKEY FESTIVAL RACING

Should Win. Says "Pilgrim"
TWO GOOD GAMES are to be played to- morrow on the Y.M.C.A. ground at King's Park in aid of the British War Organisation Fund. The Band of the Kumaon Rifles will play at 2 p.m, and,
· starting at 2.30 p.m., the Mainland v. Island ladies, the first representative game of its kind ever to be played in the Colony, will be staged.
Viewing the teams, I notice the laland ladies possess seven In- terporters and the Mainland five. But I feel the latter has splendid balance in defence and attack, and that the rearguard will prevent the Island forward from becoming at all dangerous.
'THE Mainland halves--Miss "W.A." as pivot, should form n M. McCaw, Miss 1. Woolley and splendid trio. The attack, with S. A. Fowler, G. Singh, Pyura Singh, E. Miss J.
