On Wednesday Navy were slightly un- lucky to loss and might easily have won, so the sooner the real Interport side get together "and show what they can do with our best Club side or aides the better. The selection of Rocha out of poal. tion also is to be deprecated, as fine player though Rocha is as in- side left, why persevere in this direction when we have already wingers of better ability.

not appear to have much chance against the smart Athletic, although the lat ter are not flelding their topweight these days. Capable reserves are being tried out and have done well and I think the Athletic with eev- eral reserves will still get the points with a bit in hand. Small Units are, however to be commend ed for sticking it and can console themselves over their lowly posi- tion with the fact that they still come up smiling weekly which is a tribute to their sportsmanship all round.

Jottings

The Interport Trial on Wednes- day last on the Club ground was not a big success and I could not ace that the Committee present were given much help in the mat- ter of selection from the display given. In the first place, the In- terport team played one short, which marred the first half and when the side was completed in the second half and we got some goals, the Interpart side were not responsible for all the good play by any means. Suen got the goals for Interport and improved his re- patation as a deadly shot, but the striking weakness of the Interport halves this year is going to cause The Queen's Regt. v. Kowloon a lot of difficulty in selection. match by arrangement is being The halves on Wednesday did: played on the Kowloon A.F.C. not play up to Club form for them, ground and Kowloon spectators and certainly not Interport, the should have a good afternoon's aport. Queen's have struck a poor. patch. Iately and have gone down three important League matches by the bare margin of a goal.
