GARRISON SPORTS NOTES
By "Jake"
Billiards And Snooker Tournaments This Year
Qualified Referees Wanted
THOUGH BILLIARDS AND SNOOKER usually receive a minor place in the category of sport, there is, this year, distinct promise that those indoor games will arouse a greater enthusiasm than ever.
The military tournamentswill probably commence towards the end of the month, and these include,
The Garrison League Championship.
The Garrison Challenge Cup.
The Garrison Soldiers' Club Tournament. The Amateur Billiards Championship.
The Amateur Snooker Championship.
Under the leadership of Licut. W. V. Dixon, the Royal Medical Corps-triple champions, winners of the League Championship and holders of the Garrison Challenge Cup for Two auc- cessive years-have great hopes of carrying thing before them again This season.

Inter Unit Water-polo
M'sex And R. Scots Draw In Semi-final
Four Goals Shared After Extra Time
THE HEMI-FINAL between the | Royal Scots and the Middlesex in the Large Units knock-out water-polo tournament held at the Army fool last night was a thrilling game that ended in a 2-all draw after extra time find been played.

Soccer Referees
A MEMBER of the Garri
Bon Sport Board, in referring to the recent and future friendly matches be- tween the junior teams of the various Units, suggests it would be more to the ad- vantage of the budding footballer to have referees standard of Association conducting and supervising the games.
At
present, referees ruling these games, though purely volunteers, are not fully conver- sunt with the rules of the кате and thereby cause some bewilder- ment among the players. I un- derstand from a reliable source that Army referees, hokting éer- tfcutes as such, are only too willing to co-operate, and second this suggestion.
R.A.F. v. Middlesex SATURDAY'S match be-
tween these two teams will be played off on the Shumshlupo ground, and if the Air Force turn out the team they anticipated a week ago, a very good match should be seen.
Middlesex will be turning out strong side, in which a very some, if not most, of last year's players will be present. The R.A.F. will. no doubt have the services of their star centre-for- ward, Ho Kah-keung, who has proved beyond doubt his worth to the team.
Swimming. And Water-polo
LAST week saw the annual
swimming galag of the Hongkong Signal Company and the Royal Scots. The Signals' competitions were very enjoyable, and the on- thusiasm shown in the no
pleasant vices' events is augury of 'future ability. The Wireless Telegraphy Section proved their superi- ority, which, was best exem- plified in the smashing 7-0 defeat of the Rest at Water- polo.
Though the invitation events of the Royal Scots.gala attracted the best from the V.R.C., the Europe- an Y.M.C.A and the Kai. Teun.
