At this early stage, interest is already keen in the junior division where there are nine teams as against six last year. So far, the Royal Engineers show the best promise as they have defeated the Indian second string, last year's undefeated champions. Their other two victories were gained from the Varsity and the Chinese. Redpath was, with Hammond and Town which did not come up to expecta- send, the mainstay of the, team tions last year, but he has come off in every matchso far this season.
