DEAN'S "HITCH UP.”

[By J. G. Orango.]

It is not always necessary to go to a sporting event with the picture of a player you particularly want to see impressed on your mind. In many cases the players have little mannerisms by which they can be recognised almost as easily as from photographs.

Or

I once heard a man who had been to Stamford Bridge say that he al-j ways picks out Harry Wilding, one of Cheisen's players, by the queer manner in which Wilding carried his arms and hands during the play. Question of "Handa." Wilding would always walk run about with his arms carried straight down his sides and the hands turned up so that the palms| faced the ground. It made him rather a conspicuous figure, and if only referees had known that this was a mannerism of Wilding's they would have been more lenient with him when the question of "hands"

arose...

A WHOLE WEEK'S NEWSPAPERS IN ONE.

The trouble between Japan and China took definite form on January 29, when Japanese forces, swooped down upon Chapel, a suburb of Shanghai, Exclusive detalled re- ports of the clash are chronicled in the OVERLAND CHINA MAIL.

The last match in the 1931-1932 series of Triangular Rugby football matches proved a great struggle for supre- macy between the Army and Navy fifteens at Sookunpoo on January 30. The Navy, greatly weakened by calls on their more prominent players, had to fight hard to retain their unbeaten record, but they just managed it.

The Royal Navy have thus won the Rugby Challenge Cup for the ninth time since its inception in 1910. Their last victory was in 1929. A full report is given in the OVERLAND CHINA MAIL.

A Children's Winter Party, organised by the Dockyard Recreation Club was held on January 30, In the Sall Loft of the Dockyard, and the children of members of the Club had a very enjoyable time. A report of the party is given in the OVERLAND CHINA MAIL,
