There is only one change in the Hong Kong eleven, B. M. Pope is playing at centre-half in place of A. Owen Hughes,

Below is a short summary relat ing to players on the Rust side.

R. Rose (St. Andrew's Club)- By virtue of her brilliant perform. ance against the Hong Kong Ladies' at Sookumpoo on the last occasion these two teame met, she has been selected to be the custodian for the Combined eleven. She is steady and keeps cool under heavy pressure and kicks out with discrimination when hard pressed.

A. Fowler K.B.S.F.P.A.)-Per- haps the hardest hitter in the League, she is indeed a tower in defence. Her sterling displays throughout the season have been the means of her gaining recogni- tion in this important match and fully deserves her place at right full-back.

P. Woolley (St. Andrew's Club) A keen tackler and tireless left full-back. She reserts, a little too often, when hard pressed, to hitting the ball behind her lines and thue concedes avoidable corners.

E. Booth (K.B.S.F.P.A.)-Will break up more than one forward movement in her capacity at right half-back. She is used to

playing

at centre-half back for the Kowloon ladies, but has displayed her apt ness to play at right half-back in recent friendly matches.

M. Alves (Club de Recreio)-A centre-half with a good sense of understanding for opening up the game. She is always a hard worker in cases of emergency and feeds her forwards well, but is rather apt to starve the right wing. The selec tors certainly made a wise cholce when selecting her for the position. D. Pinguet (K.B.S.F.P.A.) (Cap tain)-A hard worker who never gives up trying, but fails to Impress with her play. She la perhaps the most erratic player in the selected eleven, and a better choice for the position of left half-back would have been M. D. White of St. Andrew's Club.

C. Botelho (Club de Recreio)- Capable of taking the ball on the run on the right wing and centreing very strongly, she is not a selfish

'Football Gives Place to National Sport.

___

NEW ZEALAND TOUR.

By I. S. Gold.l

To-day in England the cricket Beason blossoms forth from its bed of wintry solitude. To-day Hobbs and Sutcliffe will combat the names of footballers for space in the news columns of the leading journals. In brief, football is on its last legs and must ere long give place to the national sport of England.

Dotted all over the country side! amid islands of green will be seen fifteen figures in white enjoying the first breath of Summer. Lord's, very green and clean looking, will be peopled with the hundreds of ambitious youths and, in way of direct contrast, the astronomical grave looking figures of a genera- tion ago. This is the only place where a truce is called and the | leaguing together of youth and old

age

in the glorious pastime of witnessing the world's best in action.

This reason will not be 'n season of stirring international combats, but though it is lacking in the ex- citements caused by the touring Australians it will not lose inj prestige. England has now the op- portunity of unearthing her own Bradmans or perhaps even bowler or two of merit. The Test match against the New Zealand team can be used to great advant- age as regards the trials of fresh talent, rather than waste the ap- portunity on A curtain-call for certain players who are bound to be replaced in the very near future.

are a

The New Zealanders young team-their average age is about 26. They have the reputa- tion of being very fast scorers, on account of their weakness in at- tack, and their fielding verges upon that of the South African players. Such characteristics will, in these days of passive batsman- ehip, make them favourites where- ever they travel in England,
