Smeathers Fails Side At Full Back. WILLIAMS SCORES THREE. University beat Battery Team In First Mamak Game.

Bad positional play on the part of Captain Smeathers was mainly responsible for the defeat of the South Wales Bor .derers by the overwhelming margin of goals to 2 by the Hong Kong Hockey Club first eleven on the U.S.R.C. ground yesterday afternoon.

Pole, who was given only one try-out in the recent Hockey Triala, found it impossible to cope with the speedy Clab attack without the support of a right back. and the Club forwards had only to keep on- side to stand a very good chance of scoring.

The Club's forward line combined with understanding, while Dand, W. Reed and Potter shone in de- fence. E. V. Raed appeared to be off form, being very slow and hesitant in his clearing.

The Volunteers, fresh from their briliant victory over the Kowloon Cricket Club last Sunday, are engaging in another two-day fixture when they meet the Hong Kong Cricket Club on the Club ground on Saturday and Monday. They are fielding a much strong- er team than that which triumphed over the K.C.C., and the Club will be desperately hard pressed to avert defeat.

Four "changes in the side have been made, L. T. Ride, R. H. Griffiths, R. M. Wood and R. O. J. Simpson displacing J. P. Whitham, L. D. Kilbee, A. P: Hall-Thomson and R. R. Davies.

The following is the Volunteers. XI. for Saturday and Monday:-

A. C. Beck (H.K.C.C.) (captain) E. J. R Mitchell (H.K.C.C.) J. E. Richardson (C:8.C.C.) 3. E. Potter (H.K.CC) LT. Ride (University) RH, Grifiths (CS.C.C) A. D. Lawson (H.K.C.C.);

F. Baker (C.SCC)

R. M. Wood (CSCC) R. Stilliard (HKCC) R. O. J. Simpson (C.S.C.C.) The Volunteers are looking för-. ward to a very successful season and have commenced in a very satisfactory manner. On Sunday they snatched a brilliant win from the K.C.C, scoring the required 144 runs for victory in only `TO minutes. Hall-Thomson, who was Färgely responsible for the quick scoring is, however, standing down from the team to meet the Club.

Eric Mitchell, Hong Kong's skip- per, is again playing and will probably open the innings with J. E. Richardson, the CS.C.C. In terporter. The batting of the side should prove very sound, but the bowling may cause anxiety;" only;
