Soccer Teams Prepare For Coming Season
MILITARY SOCCER SIDES are among the first to prepare for the season that will soon be upon us. One or two of the civilian Clubs have already been in practice, but on Saturday two Army sides, an Air Force team and the Hongkong Football Club will be in action. The Hongkong F.C. meet the Royal Scots, and the R.A.F. tackle the newly formed team from the Combined Military Hospital.
On Saturday following, the Hongkong FC, will play the Middlesex, and early indications may be had con- cerning the Latent of these two First Division military clovens.

Table Tennis
And Badminton
TABLE tennis and bad-
minton matches with Army Units have been in- vited by the St. Andrew's Club-this was recently in timated by a member of the Club Committee, and the facilities of the Club have been placed at the disposal of the challenging teams.
The Royal Corps of Signals, rated one of the best table tennis tears In the Colony,
played De. thetiment, the R.A.M.C., at both singles and doubles last night. At the time of writing this (Wednesday) I haven't the entrvoyance to tell the winner, hut the puteome should no doubt be in favour of the Signals.
Indoor Bowls
THE American game of
Indoor Bowls has proved of great attraction to the men of the Services, and among the enthusiastic many are bowlers of high standard.
The manager of the Alleys, the other night, intimated that there should soon be a League formed of Servicemen from the various Units. One team, in fact, has already been formed, and is hoped that there will soon be enough to commence this competition.
